Today we take another look at the Walker Mower and the super easy way to access under the deck, we also mow close to a fence to show tail swing, and mention something to look out for on your pressure washer. But most importantly Hunter went to BURGER KING!

Congrats Hunter on the shout out.

[@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.

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.

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.

Nice

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@EKEACRES]

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

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thanks for that!

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@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!

[@Brian.N]

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

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.

[@rodstanley881]

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

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@williamevans7955]

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

[@dniboc7227]

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

[@oby-1607]

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

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

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

[@donbowersock9564]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@Robert-nf1di]

Hunter look like he has fun riding with you Mike

[@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.

[@casycasy5199]

good tip on the hose

[@tknoerle1451]

That was SOOOOOO cool hearing about Billy Ray calling out to Hunter.... made me smile ear to ear!!!!

[@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.

[@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..

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@scottka]

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

[@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

[@32plug]

I love the spicy chicken too!!!! Great Choice

[@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!

[@joycethomas8868]

I’ve NEVER used water to clean my 52” Scag. It’s 29 years old and deck is solid as the day I bought it. Also, never replaced spindle bearings. Btw, nice Walker.

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!

[@crosshairstare]

Hi Hunter!! Good to see your smile.

[@thomasmaphis7203]

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

[@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... :~)

[@bobarmbruster2696]

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!

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!

Hey mike and Melissa. I started following your channel because I also have a kubota L3901. While I do miss watching you get things done with the kubota, I’ve grown to appreciate the RK tractors and I really do like the mower comparisons that you’ve been doing as well. By far yours is one of my top three favorite channels to watch.

[@oldtimeengineer26]

yep pressure wash it then repaint for winter storage

[@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.

[@boomersudden6257]

Hi Hunter it was awesome to see you again, great choice on the sandwich. Great video Mike.

Hi 👋 👋 Hunter, Nice shirt Hunter.

[@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.

[@russellpetrie119]

yes ok to wash your deck I grease and iol areas afterwards the main reason I like em clean is to stop the acid from the grass eating through the steel I coat the under neath od deck with red oxide paint for prolonged protection

[@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"

[@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.

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.😃😄😉

That Walker seems sweet. Also I wish I could justify adding a 3rd function and grapple to my L3200, but can't do it, but it is perfect for your needs. Still planning on buying the Stihl pressure washer you have. Have many uses for it. Hunter is always a great view for a Saturday.

The problem with a pool in Pa is it's such a short season that you can enjoy it. On the contrary a pole building can be enjoyed all year long.

Thank You^^^^^ lol, Im catching a lot of heat for no pool, someday we will have one but just not in the cards right now, maybe when Im closer to retirement, lots of money, one more thing to take care of, and you definitely need a good heater here to extend the swim season to make it worthwhile

@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Ha ha... you know Mike, I saw a pool where they just put some kind of liner, like a tarp, in the ground. Looks just like any pool. I hadn't checked on the details, ground prep, etc. But, I just looked 😇 and apparently it's a vinyl liner pool. Make a rectangle about 3 lanes wide, maybe 4' deep, 25-30 yards long?
