    Walker MBSSD60 - Reasonable Deal?

    Unit looks good. If you can figure out the tracking you may have a winner. The other stuff is easily fixed. You could take it to a Walker dealer for a inspection / tune-up and yo will be good to go and happy with your decision... Coming off a ZT to my Walker was worthy jump for me. NO regrets.

    Walker MBSSD60 - Reasonable Deal?

    That's about 80 hours per year usage.......if not for commercial use, I would give it a go. As long as it starts up easily and there is no bad rust or corrosion taking place. Without photo's or anything else to go on it's hard to tell from here.

    Leaf mulching question

    Multiple passes, sometimes on different days, highest setting at first then lower settings. Homemade chute blocker is fine. The idea is to grind them up and disperse them across the turf. Mine tend to fall gradually rather than all at once so it takes a couple of weeks to get them all. Late...

    Understanding Cut height Graphic on Digital Display

    I had the same concern with my Conquest while I had it. I ended up carefully leveling the deck side to side and adjusting the front to back with the back 1/4" higher. Then I mowed on the highest setting and progressively lowered the deck noting the # of bars until I got the cut I wanted. There...

    I love these tractors!

    I had a 2014 Broadmoor and it also took me awhile to dial it in to my mowing style and property. It cut extremely well and the stripes were pretty good most of the time. Pulling the deck off for cleaning was fairly EZ but a mower lift ( MoJack) made it even easier to scrape. Only issue I had...

    John Deere Laying Off Workers in Midwest US, Opening Plant in Mexico

    Moving the production to Mexico will save JD Millions........but it will not lower the selling prices a penny.

    Best for hills?

    I don’t think Toro sells those in the US any longer.

    Best for hills?

    On flat ground a larger deck will require fewer passes. You might also have an easier time trimming with the extra deck space. Since JD suspends their decks you will get more deck tilting on the uneven areas.

    Best for hills?

    Depending on the slope even a 4-wheel drive GT has limits. I would encourage a visit by a couple dealers and seek their advice on a local level.

    What makes it a mulching mower?

    Definition......Grass mulching or circular grass managementIt is a specific mowing technique that finely shreds the grass into small particles. These small particles are then blown back over the lawn and evenly distributed between the grass. In a perfect situation I would agree. In real...

    What makes it a mulching mower?

    I agree. And if you are only taking off an inch at a time how could any of the 1” clippings ever get recut?

    What makes it a mulching mower?

    I find it difficult to fully understand how mulching works. How can a grass blade be cut and recut while it is spinning in the same direction as the mower blade tip is pushing it? How can a mower deck that is designed to lift the cut grass and keep it in suspension also distribute the final...
