MOWERS AND MORE | Mower Attachments & Accessories BOSS-VAC PRO The BOSS-VAC PRO is a 3-bag, 12-bushel-capacity grass collection system that is compatible with BOB-CAT ProCat and Predator-Pro zero-turn mowers. Its low profile allows operators to enjoy great rear visibility, and its low center of gravity provides incredible stability. Its spindle-driven blower engages with the cutter deck and delivers 80-mph air velocity at the collection sys- tem to make quick work of even the thickest grass or fall leaf cover. Heavyweight UV-resistant fabric provides better air displace- ment and filling capabilities. Plus, the BOSS-VAC PRO features an easy-on, easy-off quick disconnect hose, with no tools necessary after initial installation, and the unit is dump-from-the-seat capable.
