Features
PTO-powered blower
Converts your tractor's 540 RPM PTO to spin a steel fan at over 3000 RPM — strong, consistent airflow for leaves and clippings.
Dump from your seat
Quick dump lever empties the catcher in seconds — no dismounting, no stopping the job.
Optional electric dump
Upgrade to dump from the cab with a simple toggle switch — ideal for enclosed cab tractors.
Quick 3-point attach / detach
Attaches to your tractor's 3-point arms or on a quick hitch for fast installation and removal between jobs.
Easy off-season storage
PTO stand with caster wheels lets you roll the system into storage easily — compact footprint in your shop or garage.
8″ boot and hose sized
8″ boot and hose sized for compact tractor decks — 8″ premium polyurethane hose rated for all-season use.
Manual dump or electric dump — your choice
Both options empty in seconds without leaving your seat. Choose based on your tractor setup and personal preference.
Manual dump lever vs. Electric dump kit
Our dump lever is very easy to operate and actually opens faster than the electric option. The right choice for most open-cab tractor operators. The electric dump kit is ideal for enclosed cab tractors or operators who find it difficult to reach the manual lever. System from $5,799 MSRP.
Operating on hills?
We recommend using a front weight kit for added stability. Front weight kits are not included with this system — ask us about compatible options when you call.
