Bobcat & Ransomes Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Bagger

Every Protero system doubles as a Bobcat & Ransomes leaf vacuum and leaf collector. The same catcher that picks up grass all summer handles leaves as you mow in the fall, then dumps the load where you want it. There’s no tow-behind leaf vacuum to buy and no bags to haul.

Why Bobcat & Ransomes Owners Choose Protero

Protero manufactures custom grass and leaf catchers for Bobcat zero-turn, stand-on, and compact tractor mowers. Each system is built from 3/16″ molded polyethylene and tubular steel, offering 10–14.5 bushel capacity with seat-dump convenience for Bobcat equipment owners and commercial crews.

Protero Bobcat & Ransomes Catcher Features

Engineered for Bobcat zero-turn mowers, 48″–72″ decks • 18 cu ft / 14.5 bushel debris collection capacity • Dump-from-the-seat lever empties in seconds • 3/16″ molded polyethylene with welded steel frame • 7″ intake for powerful suction • 8″ boot and premium polyurethane hose

A Real Blower Behind Every Bagger

Zero-turn and stand-on systems run on Protero’s belt-driven commercial blower, the most powerful blower on the market. It pulls grass and leaves off the deck and keeps material moving into the container, even when it’s wet.
