your thoughts on the Best mower

Hate to burst a few bubbles but I bring in parts and pick up finished products at a major producer of riding mowers, lawn and garden equipment. The orange ones....sssshhhhhhh. Well, on any given day those crates don't always contain the orange ones. Actually they make mowers for about a half dozen "other" companies. I bring in bulk powder materials for the powder coat processes and the totes are marked specifically for the "other" manufacturers with their names and the models. So along with the "orange" there is "red"...(O'Lay) there is "black"...(nice tools too) etc etc etc...

Then after I get done with the dropping off part, I drive over to the shipping side where they'll load crates of finished mowers. The crates have the "other" names on them if that's what they are shipping today. I could have 20 riding mowers crated up on one trailer and 5 different brands.

It's like the Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Corolla thingie....

Not a big deal though. If your happy with what ya got, enjoy.

 

That's more for the craftsman weedeater brand stuff. When you get to the pro stuff, not bragging just informing, scag is really scag and walker is definatly walker and wrights are wrights. but yeah I definatly agree with you with the home depot, walmart, and sears stuff.

 

and Husq.....ooops, I promised I wasn't gonna say it.

 

viking mower

 

Walker hands down......they are built like 1st gen Tacos



Snoope

 

Honda. Sorry no toyota mower

 

ive got 2 older snapper mowers. Besides there being stupid stuff go wrong with the ride on(WHEEL BEARINGS just recently), the steering broke, and the ride on could only do right hand turns, the snapper self propelled is on its second motor etc.. There not bad

 

I have a walk behind Honda and love it...second one I had. As far as a riding lawn mower I have a Kubota diesel. G series and has about 13 hp.

Consumer reports basically said Husky, Honda and craftsman or any lawnmower with a kohler or honda engine....

 

Toro 60" Zero Turn.

 

My dad has an old Snapper push mower that was passed down to him from his dad. It's a little over 30 years old! And still runs great. Amazing. The only problem is now when I go home to visit, I'm the one that has to mow his lawn. But, it starts 1st pull every time. If he hands it down to me, I'm gonna put some Seafoam through it and then add some Mud Terrains

 

I agree for sure. except they require alot more maintmence. This is my baby. No I'm not a redneck.

 

Do you cut commercially or is that Toro just for your yard. Either way that's a great cut.

 

Just my other hobby. I worked at a golf course for 10 years mowing. I built a 54" roller that goes behind the mower that make the stripes.

 

Back yard with a 145 yard practice tee

 

Nice tee. I was wondering why those strips stood out soooo much. Do you bag or discharge cuz that cut looks so clean?

 

Jason,

Pm also makes equipment last longer,correct????
That Walker will hold its value forever if PM'd,Correct???
Toyotas are exactly the same,pm will keep them around for a very long time...no matter how hard they work or "play"..

And hello,this is same Snoope as over at Lawnsite

 

Yes it does make it last longer and hold it's value, hopefully. haha.

Oh, i didn't put two and two together. Chestnut proves our point that Walkers are the best. Right.

I haven't been over on lawnsite very much recently cuz I'm spending all my online time here, haha.

Here's Chestnuts work for those of you who don't know. It's truly amazing.

I have never heard of a Walker Lawn Mower until this forum...who makes it and where is it made?

 

Walker is the manufacterer. It's made in Fort Collins, Colorado. It's a smaller company compared to Deere and exmark. It's family owned.

I have the Model C with the 42 inch GHS deck.

Here's their site.
