Ever had a stray stick fire out of your discharge chute while you're mowing beside a row of parked cars? It's a heart-in-mouth moment, and no crew wants a repeat. A mower chute system gives you control over where the clippings go. The Catch Pro Chute Blocker replaces your mower's existing chute with a multi-function mulch or throw discharge system, so you decide whether grass lands on the lawn or stays put. It's sized to fit virtually any commercial mulching mower, and Catch Pro says its gear is tried and tested for Australian conditions.
Built Tough: Steel Where It Counts
Catch Pro doesn't skimp on materials. The blocker has an all-steel 1/4" mounting plate and an 11-gauge steel shield, plus a side-mount lever that engages or disengages it quickly. Think of it as a gate for your discharge: open it when the coast is clear, and shut it when people, windows, or driveways are close by. A good mower chute system really earns its keep in high-density areas, where flying debris can damage windows, vehicles, or people.
Four Wins for Your Business
Catch Pro lists four benefits, and they stack up nicely.
You save time because there's less raking, blowing, and re-mowing. You save money, with fewer man-hours and less fuel used. You gain safety, since motorists, pedestrians, workers, and equipment are protected from debris. And you cut liability by keeping debris away from windows, vehicles, and people. Grass stays out of flower beds and driveways too. For a crew running tight schedules, that's a handy list.
Checking Fit Before You Order
Fit matters, so read the fine print. The standard blocker suits rectangular deck openings and costs $749. The version with a plate for curved decks is $769. Model-specific options cost $799, including the Hustler Raptor and Raptor SD (2018 and older), Toro Timecutter (2021 and newer), Country Clipper Avenue and Boulevard, Gravely ZTX and ZTXL (2023 and newer), Husqvarna MZ48, MZ54, Z248F and Z254F, and Cub Cadet Ultima ZTX5 and ZTXS4.
There are two limits to know about. The blocker isn't suitable for mowers 42 inches and under or for Husqvarna. Clear-cut decks. For a smaller mower, Catch Pro points you to its Pro Shield instead. At checkout, add your mower's make, model, and deck size to the order notes, because orders won't be processed without them. Need a bracket or installation help?

Keep Your Trimmer Line Sorted with Equipment Defender
Ever rummaged through a trailer hunting for trimmer line, then wrestled it off the spool? Equipment Defender racks put an end to that mess. The Equipment Defender Adjustable Line Spool Rack with Cutter costs $89 and holds spools of trimmer line within easy reach, so your next job starts without a scavenger hunt.
Cutter Built In
The rack has a built-in cutter, which makes working with the line quick and convenient. Catch Pro says the cutter design keeps its edge. The rack adjusts to suit your setup and secures 1 to 5 lb line spools. Mounting hardware comes in the box, so you're not hunting for bolts either.
Made for the Trailer
Strength counts when a trailer rattles down the road. The rack uses heavy-gauge steel with a zinc-plated coating, and it works on open and enclosed trailers. Think of it as a coat hook for your line: simple, solid, and always in the same spot. It's one piece of the wider Equipment Defender range, which Catch Pro offers to protect lawn equipment.
