Scag Clam-Shell Grass Catcher - 9067
The Scag Clam-Shell Grass Catcher (GC-CS) is the perfect answer for operators that do not want to leave the mower’s seat to dump their debris. This simple-to-use catcher system allows you to dump the hopper by pulling a lever.
After the initial installation, the entire catcher assembly can be removed and reinstalled in minutes without any tools! Just pull three quick-pins, release the belt and lift it off. A 12-bushel-capacity hopper collects debris from a blower that pulverizes the debris, reducing particle size and increasing the density inside the hopper. What does this mean to you? Shredding the debris allows you to pack from 50% to over 100% more into the same amount of space when compared to other grass catchers on the market. Simply put, you will be able to collect more debris before you have to stop and empty the hopper. That saves time and greatly increases productivity.
Large Hopper Capacity
The large-capacity hopper (12 bushels, 112 gallons, 14.9 cubic feet) is tapered to allow the debris to dump easily.
All-Steel Blower Assembly
The all-steel blower assembly is driven by the cutter deck via a self-adjusting belt idler system, rather than an auxiliary engine. That means a more compact design, less maintenance, less initial cost, quieter operation and less overall weight. Thick, 1/4" fan-blade material ensures dependability and long life. Improved blower bearing features a stronger cast-iron housing and easier greasing for long, reliable service.

Maintenance Tips
- Clean debris screen frequently: Prevent clogging and maintain strong airflow and collection efficiency.
- Empty hopper before overfilling: 12-bushel capacity allows high volume, but overpacking can reduce performance.
- Inspect blower assembly: Check steel fan blades and housing for wear to ensure proper suction and debris shredding.
- Check belt & drive system: Ensure proper tension and alignment for consistent blower operation.
- Lubricate blower bearings: Regular greasing extends life of the cast-iron bearing assembly.
- Inspect hopper latches & hinges: Ensure secure closure and smooth dump-from-seat operation.
- Clean hopper after use: Prevent buildup and corrosion; auto-sweeper helps but manual cleaning is still recommended.
- Check mounting pins & hardware: Ensure quick-pin connections and frame mounts stay tight during operation.
