Features

PTO-powered blower

Converts your tractor's 540 RPM PTO to spin a steel fan at over 3500 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.

10″ boot and hose

10″ boot and hose for handling more material with less restriction in heavy conditions — 10″ 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 $6,199 MSRP.

Standard PTO blower or PTO Max blower

Both blowers are belt-driven from your tractor's 540 RPM PTO. Choose based on your deck size and working conditions. The Standard PTO blower (3,000 RPM fan, 8″ hose) fits 48″–60″ decks. The PTO Max blower (3,500 RPM fan, 10″ hose) is recommended for 60″ decks in heavy conditions and all 72″ decks.

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.
