ABSTRACT:
The disclosed grass catcher cooperates with a rotary mower carried under a riding vehicle and having a clipping outlet from which a duct extends upward and rearward along the side of the vehicle for discharge into upwardly opening bags supported side-by-side at the rear of the vehicle, each carried on an upwardly and rearwardly projecting hook that enables quick and easy removal and remounting of the bags. Clippings issue from the duct in a trajectory that tends to carry them across the width of the vehicle, but they are deflected downward to fill the bags successively. Such deflection is effected by a cover that overlies the bags and the discharge portion of the duct and has a baffle projecting down from its top wall which defines a divergent air channel leading from the duct outlet and under which air blown up through the duct from the mower is diverted in flowing to a screened rear air outlet in the cover. The outlet portion of the duct is readily removably held in place by an elastic band. Without disturbing the duct, the cover can be swung forward from its operative position for easy access to the bags.
