Luigi Missano of Correggio, Italy, loves his job. Sure, he works in a cemetery. But it is what he does in the cemetery that brings a smile to his face. "I love running the Walker," says Missano. "It makes my job very easy, and I really like to operate the mower."

At Escola de Policia de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, mowing lawns is not the most important thing. The matter of importance here is preparing men and women to become police officers at the only police training center in Spain's Catalunya region. But for Juan Capoeuila, his job is important to him. He maintains the lawns and gardens at the school.

Gardenkeeper Lars Johansson is said to be the proudest Walker user in Sweden. He's been using the mower for seven years, maintaining Ostra Torsas Kyrkogardsforvaltning, a church and cemetery in lngelstad.

The Walker mower operated by Grimslov High School in Grimslov, Sweden, knows what it's like to mow. The seven-year-old, diesel-powered machine has logged 2,400 hours in just about any type of mowing condition imaginable. Sports turf, common areas, and small enclaves and gardens have posed little challenge for the mower. The small inclines and other hilly terrain that highlights much of the school's 30,000 square meters of lawn haven't either.

On the banks of Lake Zurich sits Schloss Au, a beautiful property with a long and rich history. This magnificent castle with a background of military generals, celebrities and philosophers from all over the world was built and named in the 13th century, and has undergone many facelifts since then. The property is now publicly owned by the county of Zurich and is maintained by head gardener Carmene Pacceallo.
