I'm so glad to see Hunter going for a chicken sandwich. That Walker mower is very unique in the maintenance of the deck and lots of other stuff. I wish all mowers zero turns were made that easy to maintain. I enjoy the outdoors too a lot. I am a little i guess depressed because I developed a major diesel leak on my old Kubota. When I get a chance, I'll track down the problem and I have someone near by that knows these rigs lot more than i do so my Kubota is out of use for now. Bummer! Anyway, things happen and i go on each day with my head up. No other way. Glad to see this great video and glad that the weather there has cooperated or hope it has. God Bless. Michael from NW North Carolina

[@victorcastle1840]

L3300 Kubota , 21 yrs. old and things happen like old hoses. Finally just had all the hydro hoses to bucket replaced. Good luck Michael on diesel leak, hope it is something simple.

[@padude131]

You gotta love that smile on Hunter! It is so contagious. I just wish more people were like that. Have a day!!

[@munched55]

I discovered you guys from Buckin' Billy thanking you for the shout-out. My mailbox is less of a chore when I see quality people like yourselves that also share my values have posted a new video. Nice to know you all and keep 'em coming!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thanks for that!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Hey Mike Hunter and Melissa, good morning. Glad you all got thru BK DAY and swimming at the neighbors too. Funday before Sunday ;-) It was a good videos on the care of the Walker Mower, you handle that mower like a PRO and would make a really good sales person. I think you are doing them (Walker Mower's ) a wonderful job of promoting their mowers! Good for you and your family that you have showed yourself as an honest and professional person that tells it like you see it. Keep up the great videos and the family involvement in the videos . You all have it going good for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Tghanks Old Dawg!

[@EKEACRES]

You're a good man & father for caring for Hunter like you do. Good for you & God Bless.

[@davefinch5155]

Hey Mike, I think it's ok to pressure wash under the deck! I own a tractor, lawnmower, excavator etc. You're usually not pressure washing that often and as long as you grease the bearings right away the grease pushes out any water infiltration into the bearing, just my opinion, keep it going you guys, love it.

[@davidkovalski1531]

I have a Walker and love it, this is my 2nd one, I have the GHS model. Grasshopper also has the tilt up deck also, and is a very good mower with probably more attachments to

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Nice

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

Thanks for the Walker mower view. Not to sound repetitive or contrary, this confirms my earlier assertion this is a mulching deck, not a rear discharge deck. In this case, each blade is encased, or nearly encased with baffling. There is no discharge passage out the rear of the mower. In a rear discharge mower, two blades turn one direction, the third turns the opposite direction. There are no baffles to encase each blade, rather baffles to direct clipping out the rear, between the drive wheels. The blades/baffles direct the clippings out an opening at the rear of the mower. Just as your Toro demo unit has an discharge opening on the right side, a true rear discharge mower has a similar opening, but at the rear of the mowing deck. Clippings are intended to fly out behind the mower, just as the Toro has the clippings fly out the right side. The Toro could be similarly equipped with encasing baffles, making it a mulching deck, just as the Walker. There are two decks are outfitted with baffling (and most likely blades) that are different.

[@JimG31547]

Congrats Hunter on the shout out.

[@RDW303]

I cannot remember who I started watching first, the Morgan’s or Buckin’ Billy Ray, but you both were on recommendation by KZbin. Then all of a sudden, you recommended to your views to watch Buckin. I had to laugh that I was actually watching you two before you started that. And the more I watch you two, the more I see how you two have became supportive of each other and friends. I love watching both of your channels.

[@robertgehret7615]

Hi Mike, I’m a gardener for a large western city. We use Johnn Deree mowers. Mines a 72” deck and we wash the decks every day. The grease fittings for the bearings are on top of the deck. We also grease them every day. I wish our decks went up that easy! We have to crouch down to wash. Have a day!!

[@JeremyTVOK]

Great information! Thanks for the tips!

[@douglasmcwhirter9572]

Hey Mike. The local landscaping company here in Oregon has the underside of the mower deck sprayed with bedliner when they are new. There is no more problems with the decks rusting out after many years of use.

[@jGoodloejr]

Mike you deserve the support! Good clean family type content ! And a great family.

[@hburns16]

I love the videos with Hunter. My son is on the spectrum (Aspergers), but more 'highly functional' (just finished a culinary program and working at a local steak house!). But we all love seeing Hunter, he brightens our day! I do love all the other videos too. Great ideas and it's always interesting to see how someone else thinks about a problem that you're working on as well. No I have to drop the backhoe on my Kubota, hook up the landplane and redress the driveway down to the barn. Keep up the good work folks!

[@thompasanski7076]

mike,i run the blades and spray up under the deck,works perfect,craftsman 42 in deck,clean an dry ,let the blades spin. good luck on the mill,nice job.

[@harmab2]

I love my grasshopper mower 😍

[@Chris-jh3tg]

Love the Hunter videos. He looked so happy, always makes me smile!

[@williamevans7955]

It's great to see Hunter hello to you both enjoy your day.

[@kristercarlson2635]

I think Hunter has made me a BK customer for life! The Chicken sandwiches are incredible!

[@dougbower9479]

Mike, so far the Walker gets my vote but I am still waiting for you to get your hands on a Ferris with full suspension. I have a few mowers, Ferris, Skag and XMark, I like them all but my back likes the Ferris the best. Love your videos, keep it up!

[@markloomis1415]

Amen on the Ferris! I've had back surgery and wouldn't mow with anything else.

[@vivienbritton5447]

Having the deck in front makes all the difference in the world!

[@rodstanley881]

Hi mike I have the stihl 600 power washer I love mine thanks for the tip

[@MikeEchoNovember]

Just bought the Hustler Raptor 48" Flip Up which has that 23 HP KW. These ZTR's are much shorter (front to back) than all other ZTR's including yours. I love it. I have about 2.3 acres which took me about 3 1/4 hrs to mow w/ my Husqvarna 24hp 48" standard, now only takes 2 1/4 hours. And yes I pressure wash mine, no problems so far, Knock on wood. Don't know if anyone's done a video on these?

[@evilbrat5376]

Watching this video and the ease of lifting the mower deck. . wow. Since I don't have as large place as y'all I have a JD130 with a 42 inch deck. It is a Killer getting under her to sharpen and chance blades. Enjoy the Walker while you can . A Sweet machine. It was a trip seeing Hunter with you going to Burger King. Give him a shout out from me please.

[@russvtguy]

Thank you Hunter , the smile on your face puts a smile on mine

[@coolwheelz5190]

The best part of this vid......you and Hunter hanging out on a Saturday morning!

[@johnmuncy1710]

The deck on the walker has to be one of the best ideals I have seen on a mower. It would definitely help in my decision to buy one.

[@jimbobaby1468]

h i from a fellow landscaper and i'm also a p.c.a god bless hunter and you all have a good day!

[@TheSnakeman3]

I didn’t use the blower to clean the mower or brush hog until I learned it from you sometime back Mike. Man it’s a lot easier than a water hose. As always, great video.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I see you've met my friend....Mr. Rock! Lol

[@seenithere]

Leaf blower to get the dry stuff off the top of the deck & tractor, Power wash & then grease bearings.

[@roy40oz]

When comparing these zero turn mowers to the RK, what is the difference in time you spend mowing? And what is the fuel consumption per hour / diesel vs gas? Thanks! Hi Hunter! I had an impossible whopper today at the King! Good Times!

[@jasonj9111]

I was watching Buckin Live. Awesome Hunter was able to catch that too. Buckin is really something, thanks for that referral.

[@russellbowman8051]

Seams maintenance on the walker not too bad!!👍👊

[@timminstraprs2169]

Hey mike just a quick question, when it comes to your tractors do you prefer the shuttle shift or the hydrostatic?

[@matthewheld8577]

I wanted to throw something out there that you have not mentioned and may not be aware of. You talk about how well it mulches and cuts grass. A lot of that had to do with deck design and blade speed Walker mowers unlike other mowers; the blades are shaft driven and rotate off gear boxes. No belt to wear out or slippage. Much like a brush hog. You do need to keep extra shear pins On hand with a walker just in case you kit a hard object. It protects their gear boxes. Also a gear box design allows walker to customize blade speed for optimum cutting. Much like NASCAR and Indy cars can fine tune to few tenths. You can’t get that with pulleys.

[@Zomsky]

Just last week bought us one of the Stihl pressure washers - brilliant machine. Very impressed

[@rickcassell9613]

I have that pressure washer ; thanks for that heads up ! Another great video Mike , out working my little homestead, got to love it !!

[@JeremyTVOK]

I love the Hunter videos. They make me smile every time. Man, I’m glad someone likes to mow because I darn sure don’t like it!

[@scottka]

Nice video. Great to see Hunter, and you too Mike.

[@jerryodonoghue8624]

Have a very small (30 inch) inexpensive ride on mower. Never mow the grass when its wet, never pressure wash the underside of the deck, have never replaced the spindle. The mower is a 2010 and still shown no signs of rust. Mower runs and cuts well. Have a small lot, compared to yours, approx 10,000 sq feet with lots of trees and flowers. I do clean under the deck with a scraper once a year before storing for winter. Works for me Good luck to you, the better you take care of the equip the longer it lasts, and trouble free it is.

[@dennisgallagher1686]

mike i eould power wash at seasons end blew it off grease it then coat bottom of the deck with spray oil that way wont rust or effect bearings other then that no power washing love your videos keep up good work

[@donbowersock9564]

Nice to see you Hunter. That deck system is sweet, sure better than picking up zero turn with tractor or an engine hoist.

[@Robert-nf1di]

hi Mike I love the video on you operating The sawmill so you see the controlled and love that Walker more it makes me want one but I don't think they are around here where I'm at but right now I can't afford to get one

[@oleballcoachherring]

Let your grass grow tall and start cutting it at a higher level to naturally help get rid of some of your weeds. ~ 3" to 4"

[@StreetRocketJoe]

Always great to see the excitement Hunter has for his chicken sandwiches. I'm thinking about hitting up burger King this Tuesdays and getting a chicken sandwich myself. Ha ha ha the mall crawler is actually Hunters personal limousine. As for the deck tilting that's an awesome feature I think Ventrac does something similar with their brush hog. I wonder if applying some sort of undercoating like a bed liner or something would make cleaning it easier, being that it so easy to get to I would assume applying it yourself wouldn't be to difficult. As for pressure washing under the deck and pressure washing bearings in general your totally fine to do it. Just use common sense don't use a 5 degree tip on 4200 psi washer then point blank it at the bearing. And of course grease your bearings after washing around them assuming they are serviceable.

[@smoke09able]

I don't need a zero turn mower for my yard but I would pick the Walker over the Toro after watching them in action on your property. Walker maintenance features are also nice! Hello to Hunter!

[@oby-1607]

Love the deck that raises. Would be able to remove the blades for sharpening or replacing so easy.

[@mattphillips4260]

looks like you have a good bit to mow have you gave thought to having a diesel in your mower myself i find diesel gets a good bit more work done on less fuel

[@billonthehill9984]

Thanks Mike, Hunter & Melissa... Always a pleasure. Even though I would never use a machine like this on my extremely steep terrain, the machine fascinates me nevertheless...The rear discharge design of the deck really just lays it down based on my observations & the ability to mow " close to the edge, " remember the " Yes " album?, was clearly demonstrated here. Imho, scraping & blowing it out both below & above is more than adequate, however for those that feel the need to pressure wash the underside, it would be wise not to spray directly into the spindles either below or above deck. Some people take their blades to a shop to have them sharpened & balanced. I have always done mine on my bench grinder, I have it down to a science & come away with straight, razor sharp edges on the full width of my high lift blades that sliceses the grass, making for a smoother running machine that can be both felt & heard. (28) yrs. utilizing this method has never failed me... Bill on the Hill... :~)

[@waynebarnett746]

Mike ,,,,, me thinks someone needs a pool . Just sayin . Love seeing Hunter. Have a great sunday Morgans .

[@tommyordoyne7461]

Mike, Before you use your next demo mower, try spraying the underside of the deck with a graphite-based dry film lubricant, like EZ-Slide, for easier clean up. Water hose only should do the trick.

[@wayneshancock2520]

It’s 8:30 pm and I just watched the video, thanks to Mr Hunter I’m en route to BK for a Spicy Chicken !! The best ad is our guy leading by example 👍👍❤️🙏

[@markschmidt5036]

My Toro ZTR is great except for tight turns. The hydro's are going forward, reverse, or they are stopped. They have zero free spin. Is the Walker better at those tight turns?

[@johnrobert1053]

Hunter getting a shoutout. That’s pretty awesome. Enjoy the spicy chicken!

[@benrosenbaum2962]

It's great to see Hunter happy about his BK run! Another informative video Mike. While I am not in the market for a zero turn mower, I will admit I was curious about the tail of the Walker mower swinging around. After seeing this video, I'm impressed. It seems like a very well thought out mower. I still need to get myself a lock-n-lube!

[@amishbuilt]

I noticed I can get on steeper banks with my new zero-turn also but I think it is because the ground is dry and the mower is just getting a better bite or maybe I am more confident but I I am getting better on slopes.

[@Robert-nf1di]

Hunter look like he has fun riding with you Mike

[@thomasmaphis7203]

as with all your videos I loved watching it.... thanks

[@dniboc7227]

Love the deck lift on the Walker....how easy is that!

[@crosshairstare]

Hi Hunter!! Good to see your smile.

[@G8rRay]

Great video! But, we all have come to know that's how you roll!!! Thank you! I'm in the market for a ZTM (zero turn mower); and, thus far, I've looked at the Bad Boy mowers (Outlaw Rogue, pro-grade, or Maverick, residential-grade), which are really impressive (at least, on paper and in the showroom). In this video, you provided us with good information about some routine (each time-of-use) maintenance for the Walker; would you provide us the same kind of information for the Toro 6000?

[@thomasnaper175]

Morning Morgans i also watched Buckin Billy yesterday that was neat to hear Hunter called out very cool have a great weekend Morgan family. Loch Sloy Hunter from Bigredscotsman..

[@rickysafer2895]

Hunter I hoped you enjoyed that spicy chicken sandwich. Seems like a really good mower to me really easy to clean the deck. Buy the way I noticed no black vinyl tension wire on the bottom of your black vinyl fence , they are pretty easy to put on and really strengthens the bottom of your fence , so foxes and other critters will have trouble getting underneath your fence.

[@bobpurs]

I pressure wash my a couple times a year and then especially in the fall before I put it away for the winter. Good video Mike, the deck of the Walker sure makes it easy to maintain and clean, definitely a great selling point. Hi Hunter and I also seen Billy Ray do a shot out to him which was very cool. I started watching Buckin Billy after Mike said something. Thanks keep up the great videos.

I was great seeing Hunter get his spicy chicken sandwich. That mower is really easy to clean the deck.

[@joeh.6262]

If you’re worried about the bearings getting Walter in them , then grease both before and after the wash. Plus keep the pressure washer from aiming the spindle bearings

[@bobarmbruster2696]

Nice,normal,sane person here. Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Great stuff Mike, please keep it up. Hiya Hunter.

[@bigbigby4657]

Good to see you Hunter! Melissa, as others said, a pool will eat up all of your time in maintaining it; enjoy your neighbors!😀... Mike, that Walker definitely has its advantages over others, I can see where it'd grow on one in liking it. Just don't pressure wash near the jack (blade) shaft where the bearing is.Get every where else though.👍 (Edit).... P.S. - Mel, unless it comes contractual with a pool worker to maintain it.😃😄😉

[@mountainviews5025]

I really like that mower plus love love love your son I have a wonderful BEAUTIFUL amazing nephew who is my best friend every second that I spend with him changes my life for the better of course he also teaches me so much unbelievable things extremely intelligent interesting things that I would never of noticed when I'm out and about with him and if we/I talk to people they always are like oh no so so sorry this is this way with him not many people know how amazing it is either they think that it's a terrible thing when to me it's extremely wonderful my nephew is extremely happy every day so what else could you ask for to me that is perfection long comment sorry thumbs up my friends

[@articcattrv]

With all that great equipment you have Mike you need a one ton dump truck for moving around blue stone and loading wood from your convayer, but that would be after Melissa gets her pool .

Mike, I'm trying to get a mental picture of the layout of your property. I see your driveway from the street to your house, but where is the drive down to the wood processing station? Is it on the opposite side of your house?

[@Challway]

Yes that was funny about Hunter watching that video! Burger King treat! Great family time! I enjoy my John Deere zero turn mower, it’s very sensitive and turns great! I just don’t like hills! But cleaning is easy too, there is a place to hook your garden hose to the deck,to clean the blades

[@victorcastle1840]

That is why I have a Grasshopper 21 hp diesel . Steep hills no problem and no pull down in rpm. regular flip up deck but run mulch blades. Mow about 7-10 acres, with lots of trees

Glad you said much not much easier because I can fold the deck on my Grasshopper even easier. No latchs to undo nor deck to pick up to relock it.

Sorry Mike but Melissa’s comment about only needing a truck a couple times per year hits home. Just wondering if borrowing your new Wolfe Ridge Conveyor would be ok?😉😎! Good Luck👍 Hey Hunter, it’s always nice to see you and your happy smile! The Walker seems to be an awesome mower, our Toro Zero Turn is not nearly as handy next to our fence and access to its mower deck is much more involved....but it’s been repair free!!

[@brucebello2049]

Ah, my favourite Hunter! Spicy chicken, you got me, thought you would go for the Avocado Salsa Chicken sandwich, looked to me that you surprised your dad too! We done!

[@williammatthews2948]

Hi Hunter. Mike, Melissa still needs a pool. Lol. Take care.

[@johngrossbohlin7582]

As long as you don't pressure wash the end of the spindles near the blades pressure washing isn't a problem. Grease the wheels, rollers, and spindles afterwards and you are good to go. Regarding the No 10 meal, i.e., the crispy spicy chicken, that is my favorite BK meal Hunter!

[@stevewalker8560]

Watched the video and liked it! Was browsing other KZbin sites and happened across Bus Huxley running a wood miser sawmill in a shed that I thought would be a great design for you.
