 These rugged mid-size machines are built for the rigours of daily commercial operation and designed to mow virtually any property-places with rolling contours, irregular shapes, tight corners and open spaces.
Walker Mowers are not just assembled. They're engineered. Every detail has been proven in the field. Every design element has been tested and refined. As a result, each mower is highly reliable, tuned to perfection and manufactured to give top mowing performance to the owner. The secret to getting the job done quickly and easily is a manoeuvrable machine with easy-to-operate controls. With Walker's patented combination of Forward Speed Control and steering levers, only gentle fingertip pressure is needed to put the machine through its paces. No other mower operates this easily. Forward/reverse, zero radius turns and braking are accomplished by lightly pulling the steering levers while Forward Speed Control adjusts and holds forward speed, functioning as a "cruise control." The operator relaxes since it isn't necessary to hold the steering levers when cruising forward. Steering wheels, gear shifts and foot pedals are all eliminated for nearly effortless handling of the machine.

Sealed Gear Drive Axle
Walker custom designed and developed a sealed gear drive axle for the mower. This simple, rugged axle with machine cut gears, ball bearings and ductile cast iron axle and hub brings industrial strength and unquestioned reliability-a Walker hallmark-to our dual hydrostatic mowers. The hydrostatic transmission bolts directly to the gear case, providing a completely sealed, maintenance free drive unit. Reliability of the hydro-axle unit is backed by a three year warranty.

Hydro-axle Units
Two hydro-axle units, one for each main wheel, are mounted in the chassis, providing dual hydrostatic performance (independent wheel drive). To make the machine compact, the right and left axles are "nested." Walker's clean, simple axle design eliminates the maintenance of chain drives, bulkiness of transaxles and complexity of hydraulic wheel motors found on other dual hydrostatic mowers.

Tilt Up for Service
 Quick, easy access to the working parts for service was not an afterthought with the Walker design. Clam-shell or tilt-up bodies quickly expose the engine and drive-train and tilt-up mower decks make blade maintenance and deck cleaning easy.

Interchangeable Mower Decks
Interchangeable mower decks and attachments are quickly and easily mounted and removed using a two-pin hitch system and a sliding drive shaft connection.

Innovation by Combination
For both commercial operators and large homeowners, Walker engineering has combined all of the design elements to assure fast, easy, beautiful mowing - everything you would ask for if you were designing a mower from the ground up.
- Comfortable for operator with large contour molded seat, "natural" control placement and full view of mowing area.
- Compact overall size permits mowing and trimming in tight areas-eliminates extra trimming operations.
- Tight, quick manoeuvring with dual hydrostatic steering.
- Front mounted deck allows unobstructed trimming and good operator view, and for a smooth cut, tractor wheels roll on grass after cutting.
- Mower deck "floats" and follows ground contour with flexible deck suspension and spring counterweighting.
- Low center of gravity assures balanced and safe operation, even on slopes.
- A range of interchangeable mower decks adapts to a wide variety of mowing situations; 36" to 74" with dedicated grass collection, side discharge or mulching operation available.
