Thanks for explaining the turning, I've been trying to turn correctly this whole summer.

I love my walker also! lol, one day my 16 year old snuck on my mower while I was at my other job, wife calls and said dont get mad...uh oh...he tried using the walker to mow and ended up driving right through neighbors fence with the front deck! All was well, first response was..hows my mower? Anyhow, there is a learning curve to the walker. thanks for the vids Brian!

that walker really leaves amazing stripes love the cut quality

best of luck Matt the most important aspect of lawn care is work ethic (in my opinion) and you look to have it. Decent workers barely lose in life. Cheers for the vid

thanks man really helped alot especially about how to make a careful and perfect turn which I've been struggling with and im 15 years old and i work in a landscaping company

Good luck Matt and welcome to the team! Keep up the good work...

Thanks for this video!! I start learning the walker this season!!

Very tricky controls, I would be damaging everything in my way if I was driving. You guys make it look so easy.

Of all the videos about the Walker mower, I think this one was the most informative in regards to using the mower.... The info re: the cantilever effect of the rear box hitting the house was great information. Great video.. Keep them coming

lmao, that was close, i am experience with the walker, i just love the machine, got one for myself and going to use it for snow removal, first time to try that

i used a Walker when i first started out i took out so many side mirrors and my fair share of fence posts and mailboxes..

Brian, it's called "tail swing" when you learn to drive a bus - anything behind the rear wheels is subject to doing what you are talking about.

Good job Matt. I was holding my breath for ya there a couple times dude. ;) Good video Brian, great patience. The kids gonna be alright!

U seriously have the best lawn vlogs!!! Thx for sharing brother!!!

Thanks for making this movie These Walker Mowers look great

I hate training people!!! More power to you my man. keep up the good work!

Love the new intro, it really showcases the awesome work you guys do.

After watching that I can see it would take me awhile to get used to it. I like the box on the back, hate tubes that are always coming loose and clogging

At the age I'm at, it could be the type of music it is. I'm more in for a more quiet type of music and definitely not the high tech stuff your using. But it's your thing, so have fun!!

Great video. The only ZTR mower I've even been on was a Dixon ZTR. It was one of the very early models as it wasn't a hydrostatic model. It had a couple of steel cones and a ball type transmission...which was out of adjustment as you couldn't get it to track straight without guiding it with the steering levers. Once I got used to it, it was fun. I was surprised how fast the thing would go, however it didn't cut very well at full speed LOL. Only mowers I've ever used have been a regular lawn tractor, and push mowers. I've never had a self propelled walk behind of any type. I spent several hours doing a service on a 26 year old Scag walk behind, but didn't get to mess with it too much as it had to go back to the customer. The little testing I did with it though was a learning experience for sure. It was a geared mower so shifting gears with your knee is a pain...in the knee when you hit that shift lever with your knee wrong. Reverse was kind of weird, I was expecting it to jump into reverse really quick but it doesn't it slowly engages and starts backing up...I believe its like that on purpose for safety. Turning was very weird....after so many years of a regular push mower where you have to steer the dang thing by manually turning it was very weird to pull a lever to turn the machine...that took some getting used to....no you can't exactly force the machine to turn without pulling the corresponding lever LOL. Wouldn't mind having that SCAG. I'd happily walk behind it over using my lawn tractor on my yard. The SCAG is a much better cut LOL. Haven't had experience with any of the commercial equipment other than the SCAG that one time, but I think any of the commercial equipment will be a huge plus for anyone in the lawn business for sure regardless what brand...many times the complaints are related to operator error and lack of maintenance.

Matt did grate for a first time.I always set up an obstacle course with Road cones when I am teaching someone how to use a walker they hit one it is not a big deal As for guys taking things out with The Walker I have had one guy put it through a conservatory another guy took out a fence and a car in the same day and I don't know how many letter boxes have been hit. Then there is shrubs, Gardens and various other things have also been taken out with it you name it they have hit it

Loveing that background music lol I did that with a mower bagger on the back. WAP I hit a tree turning lol

Good training Brian you're good at it. I love the way that walker cuts too, nice rig

Yeah that comfy piano accordion effect follows me into my car as I'm driving, it's kind of weird how the mind plays tricks on the body !!

Great video!!! Training the new guy, not bad at all!! I just finished mowing my yard right now, I have a John Deere riding mower and I bet I would take out my fence and wife's garden if I had the walker for the first time lol

Good job brother

interesting control layout on that mower, kinda gives you a new respect for people that operate it so fast and smoothly. What I really like about it is that third wheel, the reassurance that I won't pop a wheelie loading it into the trailer would be awesome lol

That was damn close. He almost hit it.lol.

great video!

When the rep. came to show me the Walker we took it up to a nice big long property. Mows great, she has what I call a Beyonce rear end for sure. And I took out a metal fence on the day. The real problem was my hips couldn't take the movement of the deck and I would lock up. But a few guys around me use it and love. One guy has 2 a Mulcher and the Catcher.

Great video. Didn't know those controls were so messed up. I always wondered what you were doing with your right hand. That mower seems to be the ultimate mower for high end condos and tight areas where you can't discharge into a parking lot.

When ur instructing him. Tell him to not pay attention to the camera but to the Mower an how wide it is. An be aware of all your surroundings. That's key. #1 aware of your surroundings.

Practice makes perfect..

nice video and thank you to show the how to :D

Great video! He's not nearly as bad as my first time on a z.. Never had the walker experience yet but maybe one day! Bring it to the gie $10 rides lol

"Oh wow" lmfao.

The GHS is great. Did an out of control yard today. Looks perfect.

A Wright stander with run circles around a walker. I use both, about 20 houses a day with the Walker. And all common areas with a stander. Good luck

gotta keep those drive wheels moving at all times. you can do a zero turn but not easy. ive gone the whole season now and used maybe half the tread. started with new tires spring and still looks new. everybody i work with drags inside tire and dont care. sometimes if its wet or incline u cant avoid some kind of mark but.

you dont need to ride your forward speed control.... the whole machine can be driven with just the two control levers. its designed to be a one handed operation. the forward speed is set and forget. that way there when youre turning, both wheels are always spinning. thats one of the main reason why walkers are so nice. it doesnt have to be done like that but that is the intent of the design. i hope this makes sense

Its an incredibly nimble machine. Just takes time in the seat

I was waiting for you to run the garden hose over.

If you like that Walker for the out front mowing deck and you don't bag all the time, you should try a Grasshopper. I think they have more comfortable and natural controls and are better on hills, especially if you get the hydraulic lift deck. Might be worth demo'ing one if there's a dealer near you, it's all I run, for riders, after 20 years in business.

hey Matt i would be dangerous on the walker also , take your time untill you get to know it better,* Brian is a Walker PRO hands down , maybe Top Notch will buy another sit down zero turn without the dumpster behind it lol... thanks Top Notch for sharing your videos. you need a CDL to drive that Walker.

what i usually do with all my new employees is dump the walker on their lawn for a weekend and make them practice there. that way if they break something it's their fault. best way i found to make them extra cautious. the amount of stuff i had to replace in 10 years is pretty amazing but last couple of years been great. keeping good employees is the key

First time I drove a walker was back in 97 long time ago. I didn't like the way it worked very weird hand controls for steering but like you said once you practice it u get used to it.

I have been wanting a walker for some time, it may happen if my deal don't fall through in the next couple days, it will replace a Husqvarna zero turn.

hey bud, do you find the arm rest usefull? also is that a suspension seat?

Do you ever spit that dip or what aha

I can see how these might be nice for high end yards, golf course looking mows, but for general yard mowing I will stick with my hustler ztr...it's faster and easier. That steering arrangement isn't complex but doesn't lend itself to blasting through a yard like a ztr controls

Wish i had one of those Walker Mowers,, but there's no dealers near by.. guess ill keep push mowing ha! theres a Toro Dealer but they have very bad service and any big mowers are special order,,;( anyways keep those videos coming i really enjoy them, thanks!!

Take that all you walker haters. Damn great machine.

He just bout took out that mirror. He didn't creep before turning.

ATN- Brian do you have many problems with your walker I am all ways fixing something on the one I am running it is only about 3 yeas old

how do you use the wright lawn mower

ATN: do you always have to hold the speed level or is it a set 'n forget

I worked for a company that used Walkers in 2001. They had a little truck bed on the back instead of the box. I hit three mailboxes before I got the hang of it. Haha. There really is no other mower like it. You can spin on a dime with them. How do you feel about the maintenance versus other mowers, Brian?

Have you ever thought of attaching the dethatcher to the front for spring.

Oh I hate that when that happens.

Question, my father in law has a walker just like this but without the box. In his, when you get past a certain speed, it won't let you reverse, you have to slow down. Otherwise it starts bucking like crazy. Does yours do this? Actually, even though they look the same, i think my in-laws is probably about 10 years old, that may be why.

How can I put lines in my yard I have riding mower

What engine does the walker have

dude how about some work boots set a good example safety 1st only way to roll shorts and sneakers sounds good

ATN- how many walkers have you purchased? Are they long lasting?

The Walker throws down a sick cut. But the operator can't be a cowboy. Needs to be someone who is responsible and has finesse. Its not as durable as a zero turn.

Hi Ron N Z here used one 1 st time no training. Why does it mulch and not fill catcher. It did twice then plate down Shute blocked it turned off machine. Reached down Shute flipped plate but still wouldnt fill the catcher Hate it Ran away on me pity I had not seen your video first working on angles slopes was confusing pulled lever pushed lever took me 8 hours as the regular guy was off work Ron Invercargill

What size is your trailer

What happened to the Geeks channel??? Its all private now and no videos???

Hey Brian, on previous videos you tried out the Wright StanderZ 60" and from what i saw you really did not like it...my question to you and your followers is- I am willing to spend the $8-10K on a new commercial mower to grow my business into more commercial acreage cutting..this allows me to get either a stander or zero turn rider...what size deck should I get 54 or 60? and should I get a stander or a rider mower? Brands in my area are: Gravely..John Deere..Scag..ExMark..any advice y'all can give me is much appreciated!

Is the walker a faster cut than a 0 turn?

What do u do with the grass clippings from the walker

Give the new guy a 5-10 hrs on the walker and he'll be a pro in no time

Honesty I think the walker is a stupid design, but I'm a John Deere person but i guess it's better mower for you. I have jd z915b 60in. I mow 2-3 acres on each property

Bro cut around the hose. Less than stellar service

Lol #JerkingAllOverThePlace

First

if I worked for you I would be using that turf tracer ever time not a fan of those walker controls

Where did you buy that walker

I think that a walker mower is harder to learn how to use but when you do learn how to drive it it's one of the roughest riding lawn mowers you can ride on I don't like it

Does Alvero drive the walker?

That would have been a $100 tail light fix.

+TopNotchLawns do you buy your mowers out right or are they financed

Hm yeah kinda liked them. Had to get used to it but it quite nimble with that one-handed way to move it around. Cons... TO bloody fragile, the impeller can get dislodged by branches. The fat swinging ass, mind that all the time with obstacles around. Next, the noise level is quite high, the engine frequency is annoying.

Is that a diesel

They never have any idea how close they get to hitting anything,because they don’t look.

brain how much does a walker coast?

How come that one tire is wearing unevenly?

I'm enjoying watching your videos and listening to your exchange of dialog, But I have to turn the sound way down. The tunes you play are too loud, and way too overbearing, sorry ! I guess I'm just too old to like this sort of thing!

Why do you always bag??? It takes more time and it's useless

I'm sorry but Matt looks shady!!

That dude appears to be a hardcore tweaker.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FREAKS CHANNEL?

Can you guys....to all you landscapers: Whats going on with the freaks channel?? he's gone PRIVATE with his videos??? HELLO? PLEASE can you tell him he's p*****g off alot of his viewers. Some of don't do facebook. Appreciated!
