aus/nz Product catalog Greetings from Bob Walker The first Walker Mower made the trip to Australia in 1984 and now over 10,000 have made the trip to either Australia or New Zealand. It has been a remarkable journey for the Walker Mower to find a home so far away from the factory. The Australasian market is important to Walker, because not only have we met a number of fans of the product over the years, but we have also learned a lot from them. We have learned about how different environments require different types of machine performance, and as an agile manufacturer, we have been able to adapt to this concept for Australasia. Our product design has benefited from our exposure to use in the Australasian market. We have learned a lot about mowing and grass conditions as the machine has been used in your mowing conditions. As a result, our overall design for use around the world has been improved and customers in other places have benefited from our wide exposure. Many time people tend to think, and they tell us, they have the toughest mowing conditions in the world, but there is no doubt that mowing in Australia/New Zealand does put extra stress and strain on some parts of the machine with your preference for mowing at low cutting heights and with some tough strains of grass. In this brochure, you will get to know the Walker as presented for the Australasian market, and you will also see some of the specific adaptations that have helped make the Walker Mower a favorable choice for thousands of Australasian customers over the years. One other note: We have been blessed over the years to work with the three distributors for this market. They are all long-term, trusted companies in our global program, and we continue to learn from them in the areas of design, marketing and customer care. It is safe to say that even though the American company behind this product is thousands of miles away, customers in Australia and New Zealand are much “closer” to the manufacturer because of the strength of the distributors and dealers. We appreciate your consideration of our product, and we look forward to the opportunity to show you how the Walker performs in your conditions. Sincerely, WALKER MANUFACTURING COMPANY Bob Walker, President Contents Out Front Advantage Accessible Agile Versatile Models MB MBS MBSY MS MC MT MD Decks Options 3 4 5 6 7 8 11 12 15 16 19 20 21 Beautiful lawns faster, with less effort. 1 Advantage Advantage Grass Handling System The exclusive Walker GHS permits precise trimming with either side of the mower, saving a lot of time. The system creates a powerful vacuum action and clog resistance and has high capacity without the typical bulk of grass catchers found on other mowers. A passion of ours at Walker Mowers is a beautiful cut on finished turf. Striping is done naturally without the use of a roller, and the clean cut is achieved by design. The out front deck follows the ground contours perfectly to produce a picture perfect lawn. Hi-Dump™ Powerfil™ Inside the GHS grass catcher, the patented Powerfil™ oscillating delivery spout evenly packs the catcher full, even when grass is long or wet. We guarantee a full load every time. To prevent overfilling and clogging, an automatic signal horn warns when the catcher is full and ready for dumping. 2 Grass Dumping Options After the grass is cut, the clippings and debris are quickly and easily dumped with the standard manual tailgate dump or one of two optional power systems operated from the seat. A dump bag is also available. • Standard Dump - Manual • Power Dump - Empty catcher from the operator seat • Hi-Dump™ - Quickly move the material from the catcher box to a truck bed or other location without leaving the seat–Raises up to 67 inches Accessible Not only can you get where you need to go on the lawn, you can get to what you need to on the tractor. Walker’s tilt-up body and tilt-up deck make it easy to service the machine, change blades, and maintain the deck. Tilt-Up Body Clam-Shell Body • • Quickly expose engine and drive train for service Make mower service and maintenance easy Tilt-Up Deck Standard on all Walker decks is the tilt-up function. This feature makes blade and deck housing maintenance very fast and is a considerable advancement in mower design when compared to jacking up the mower and laying on the ground to access the deck, commonly required on other mowers. 3 Advantage Advantage Best Possible View of the Working Area With a low profile seat height, a full view of the area to be mowed, and an operator position at the exact center of the machine – You have the “best seat in the house.” • Full view of working area • Low center of gravity maximizes tractor/ operator balance and provides excellent hillside performance • Out front deck gives improved reach under fence lines and overhanging bushes and shrubs, which means less trimming Agile Easy-to-Use Steering Controls 4 The secret to getting the job done quickly and easily is a maneuverable 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 the 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. To fit the operator’s arm length, the steering lever grips have an adjustable position plus the grips are designed for precise “singlehanded” operation–for providing the perfect control feel. The compact size of the Walker Mower, matched with a unique and responsive steering system, makes it easy to get in and out of tight spots. This agile design means no loss of motion, less time spent trimming, and overall increased productivity. One machine is able to do the job quickly and easily, replacing a whole fleet of large riding mowers, walk-behinds, and line trimmers. It’s compact height also provides a low center of gravity resulting in stable operation, even on slopes. Versatile The Walker line of equipment is like no other. With five riding models, nine engine choices, sixteen decks, and a multitude of attachments and accessories, the Walker line has been designed from the start to meet the needs of today’s landscape professional at any time of the year, on the jobs where efficiency and versatility matter. Quick-Change Decks & Implements All mower decks are interchangeable on Walker tractors (GHS decks do not work on SD model tractors). It only takes a few moments to switch decks. Mower decks are removed by pulling two hitch pins and sliding the deck off the tractor. A sliding driveshaft coupling and GHS chute (on GHS models) are easily connected when installing the deck. For Walker implements, the same mounting platform is used. 3 5 Mowers people aspire to own. 6 MB Compact, yet mighty performers - Models MBK and MBV use a simple, clean design that is built upon many of the same principles as the original Walker Mower.

(Mulching/Side Discharge) There are two ML/SD decks, 42” and 48”. Owing to their Mach II blade system these decks can side discharge or mulch in any condition and give a beautiful finish. Changing from one mode to the other takes less than a minute and no tools are required. Multi-Deck® Collection Mulch Side Discharge For optimum results around the house,buildings and pool. Prevents grass tramp and gives the safety of no thrown objects. Next best finish to collection. No clippings to dispose of saves time. Safety of no thrown objects. Ideal for fast mowing of large areas, rural roadsides, orchards and overgrown grass even in difficult conditions. The MACH II blade system cuts the grass intosmall particles and combined with the deck baffle configuration creates an air pressure that forces the clippings down to the ground thereby eliminating grass build up under the deck. This reduces the horsepower required to mulch giving fuel savings and allows wet grass to be mulched. The MACH II blade system on MULTIDECK gives perhaps the best spread of cut grass in the industry, even in wet conditions. Swing back blades provide added protection against impact. Solid construction and no belts on the deck allows MULTI-DECK to mow areas unsuitable for most finishing mowers. With the addition of the new MULTI-DECK® the Walker Mower is now more versatile than ever. This new cutting deck has the capability to collect, sidedischarge or mulch the grass and, true to Walker reputation, it does each job beautifully. Five Reasons to Choose MULTI-DECK® 1. One mower does three types of mowing. 2. Quick, easy changeover of cutting modes. (no tools) 3. Professional results in each mode. 4. High quality, fully welded construction. 5. Swing back Mach II blade system for optimum mulching in your conditions and protection against impact. 6. Comes standard with single lever height adjuster. How the MULTI-DECK® works: Simple and straightforward baffle system changes the cutting modes without tools. The baffles are secured with hand knobs to achieve the various configurations. The tilt-up allows quick and easy access to the underside of the deck. The changeover between cutting modes is done in less than a minute. When you invest in a Walker Mower you get long lasting quality, versatility and a machine that will always mow your lawn beautifully! 20 The forward turning direction of the counter rotating blades gives a clean cut in all grasses. Discharging across the exit chute has a self cleaning action on the discharge opening. The MACH II blade system has a low horsepower requirement and creates an airstream that prevents grass build up under the deck.
