The only thing that cuts as good as a Walker is the articulated Husqvarnas .
Lots of used Walkers around.
For a home owner they are a once in a life time purchase as Walker is a small family owned business dedicated to making the best mower they can.
Not a big business dedicated to making as much money as it can
It shows in the quality & longivity of the products.
The only real down side is they have a lot of greasing points and with the over top collector the engines get filthy so take a lot of cleaning.
The horizontal shaft engines will run 100,000 hours and the mower itself even longer.
I got some really old ones in my run and they still cut better than anything you can buy new now days
