The Walker by Walker


The Walker by Walker is a compact, mid-size, walk-behind mower by Walker Manufacturing. The 15-hp.

Like the Walker Rider, a castering tail wheel on the tractor allows the deck to move independently with flexible deck suspension and spring counter-weighting allowing the deck to “float” and follow ground contour for a beautiful cut. A simple forward speed control system and easy-to-use steering controls eliminate thumb locks and allow the Walker to handle much like the Walker Rider.
