The 3.5-bu (123-L) grass catcher provides operators with a simple, compact solution for collecting small amounts of material. The deck-mounted hopper prevents unwanted grass clippings from being dispersed onto sidewalks, parking lots, flowerbeds, water features, and other landscaping features. By collecting this material, time spent cleaning up after mowing is reduced.
Installation and removal of the grass catcher is simple and fast. No drilling or additional bolt-on components are needed. Two large handles made from round tubing offer a variety of ways to handle the grass catcher.
A stainless-steel frame provides strength to the grass catcher. Strong, lightweight aluminum mesh sides are securely attached to the frame. The bottom of the hopper consists of a single piece of aluminum.
To empty the grass catcher, simply lift the hopper from the mower deck, raise the rear door latch, and open or remove the rear door.
