Grass and leaf collection systems for Kubota Z series zero-turns, B/BX/LX compact tractors, and SZ stand-on mowers.
Protero builds grass catchers for Kubota mowers and compact tractors, from the Z100 and Z700 residential zero-turns to the ZD diesel and ZG gas machines, plus B, BX, and LX tractors and SZ stand-ons. A powered blower moves clippings off the deck into a high-capacity rear container, so you collect more grass between stops and empty the whole load with one dump lever.

Each Kubota zero-turn grass catcher kit includes the blower, collection hose, rear container, and mounting hardware.
Kubota zero-turns run from the Z100 and Z200 residential lines through the Z400 and Z700 commercial models up to the ZD diesel and ZG gas machines. Protero grass catchers fit compatible Z series models: the PV13 for smaller decks, the PV18 for mid-to-large decks, and the PV22 for the largest ZD and ZG models. A belt-driven blower pulls clippings off the deck into the rear container, so grass collection keeps up with your mowing speed.
Kubota B, BX, and LX tractors are a natural fit for PTO-powered grass collection. Protero offers the PV18 PTO, PV22 PTO, PV18 PTO Max, and PV22 PTO Max catchers, each driven by the tractor power take-off. A steel fan turns 540 RPM into over 3,000 RPM of collection speed, pulling grass and leaves into the container without a separate engine.
Kubota SZ stand-on mowers are built for maneuverability and quick dismount. Protero offers the PV13S and PV17S grass catchers for compatible SZ models, bringing dump-from-the-seat grass collection to the stand-on platform.
A standard fabric bagger fills in a few passes and forces you off the mower to empty and reinstall bags. A Protero grass catcher uses one high-capacity rear container that holds far more grass, then empties with a single dump lever. You collect more between stops and never carry a bag.
A Protero grass catcher collects grass clippings all summer and switches to fall leaf pickup with no extra hardware. The powered blower moves leaves off the deck and into the container, so one system covers mowing season and fall cleanup.
Some Kubota garden tractor models, including the GR 2000 Series and G Series, pair the Protero catcher with the Kubota factory blower. The catcher mounts to the tractor and the Kubota blower supplies the airflow, so collection works without a separate Protero blower.

Lawn care crews use Protero grass catchers on Kubota Z700 and ZD diesel zero-turns and SZ stand-ons to collect more grass per property with fewer stops. Homeowners use the same catcher on a Z100 or BX tractor to keep clippings off the lawn and handle fall leaves.
Protero does not currently fit the Kubota F Series front mowers. Zero-turn and stand-on grass catchers also do not fit 36", 42", 46", or 50" decks. Not sure about yours? Give us a call.
A Kubota grass catcher is a collection system that mounts to a Kubota zero-turn, tractor, or stand-on mower and uses a powered blower to move grass clippings off the deck into a rear container. Protero offers catchers for compatible Kubota Z series, ZD, ZG, B, BX, LX, and SZ models.
Protero offers the PV13, PV18, and PV22 grass catchers for compatible Kubota Z series models. The PV13 suits smaller decks, the PV18 handles mid-to-large decks, and the PV22 provides maximum capacity for the largest ZD and ZG models. Fit depends on your exact model, year, and deck size.
Yes. Protero offers PTO-powered grass catchers for compatible Kubota B, BX, and LX tractors, including the PV18 PTO, PV22 PTO, PV18 PTO Max, and PV22 PTO Max. The tractor power take-off drives the collection fan.
Protero grass catchers use a dump-from-the-seat design. Pull the dump lever and the rear container empties without leaving the mower, so you avoid carrying and reinstalling bags.
Yes. The powered blower moves grass and leaves off the deck and into the container, so the same catcher handles summer clippings and fall leaf cleanup.
On the Kubota GR 2000 Series and G Series garden tractors, the Protero catcher mounts to the tractor and uses the Kubota factory blower for airflow rather than a Protero blower.
The Kubota F Series front mowers are not compatible. Zero-turn and stand-on catchers also do not fit 36", 42", 46", or 50" decks.
