Walker Leaf Cleanup 1

I thought I would never be able to afford a Walker mower. I found one this summer. It is an older model (1995) but it had low hours (333.5). It still runs well and cuts beautifully. The Grass Handling System (or Leaf Collection Box, as I call it) does a great job. I changed the oil, sharpened the blades and put new tires on it and it runs great!
Knowing how well constructed Walker builds their mowers, I did not hesitate to purchase a 25 year old mower.
I've had to contact Walker once with a question about the mower and they responded right away and provided me with the answer I needed.
I'm hoping to make enough money over the next 2-3 leaf cleanup seasons to be able to buy a new Walker.
I have a bad habit of buying things based on the price... The further I've gotten into my running my business, the more I am recognizing that buying quality saves time and money in the long run. "Buy the good one and cry once" is what a friend of mine tells me. Buy the best tool for the job. It might be more than you would like to spend right now, but over the life of the machine, you will spend less and you will have had the best tool for the work.
