Walker Model R 48
The Model R is Walker's machine for homeowners who want to manicure a lawn rather than just cut it. Like the rest of the Walker line it uses a front-mounted deck, which gives a clear view of the cut and reaches under branches and around beds, and its torsion-flex frame lets the deck follow uneven ground for a consistently even finish. You can run it as a side-discharge or fit a mulching kit or a side catcher. It uses simplified, residential-priced components, so it is more affordable than Walker's commercial models, though still a premium buy, and the front-mount layout is a particular taste. For a homeowner who cares about a pristine, manicured result and a machine that is easy to maintain, few things match it.
