LARGE 52-INCH MULCH DECK (DM52-2)

For the third year in a row, five dealers have been honored as Five- Star Dealers. This recognition is given after a group of top-tier dealers are nominated by their distributor, then the final five are selected by the Walker factory team. Being a Five-Star Dealer is a lifetime achievement award and is given only once to any dealer. Congratulations to the 2018 Five-Stars—you can take pride in being recognized as the best of the best Walker dealers around the world.

In October 2018, with several open territories available and needing a distributor, Walker Manufacturing Company took the opportunity to start a wholly owned subsidiary company, Walker Distributing Company. The territory being covered is the majority of Texas, Kansas and Tennessee, all of Kentucky, and the Oklahoma Panhandle. The new company joins 48 other Walker distributors worldwide in supplying Walker Mowers, attachments and service parts to dealers throughout their territories.

I recently had the opportunity to train dealers and large commercial customers on basic maintenance of the Walker Mower. The topic of blade maintenance came up, and there were some very interesting thoughts and ideas presented by technicians on this topic. With this in mind, I would like to put forth a few thoughts on blade maintenance (with the note that most of this information can be found in your operator’s manual).
