The grass packer and accelerator grass catcher are two choices for those looking for a bagging attachment for their ride-on, push mower, or zero-turn lawnmower. In this article, we’ll compare the Grass Packer and Accelerator to find out the similarities and differences between the two.
What is a Grass Packer?
The grass packer is a bagging attachment that catches clippings from the mower’s cutting deck. It collects these lawn clippings in its large capacity bag and then, if required, ejects the clippings when full into a garden area where they can be collected or used as compost/mulch.
The Grass packer has been designed and manufactured in America and is very efficient and innovative. The product is often used in the landscaping industry as it offers high performance and makes cutting and clearing grass a lot easier.
The grass packer is durable and lightweight (weighs 20 pounds), making it easy to carry even when full. It’s also very easy to empty. It can be used on a large selection of commercial lawnmowers with a flat outlet, including riding lawn mowers, zero-turn lawn mowers, walk behinds, and lawn tractors. Some examples of brands you can use the grass packer with are Kubota, Gravely, and Exmark.
