They both look like great mowers! Awesome features on them and lifting the deck like that would be really convenient! The back end lifting up like that does seem like it could be a problem, but if you mow carefully it doesnt seem like it be too bad, especially on more flat areas. Awesome video! 💯

Great video! There’s is competition.... Toro 8000 and the Exmark Navigator.... From people that I know that have had all of them, the Toro and Exmark are more heavy duty. I don’t know personally.... Bit that’s what they say.

Great video Nick I was trained on a walker 15 years ago it was a bagging mower with a built in vacuum system. By far one of the prettiest cutting machines on the market at the time the only issue was wet grass in the morning would clog up the vacuum other than that and the price it was the best. Now my trainer mulches and he has a walker mulcher and a bumblebee 32 inch. He walker for life lol 😆

Exmark Navigator is same as a walker with the bagger. Give a nicer cut in my opinion. Walkers are awesome mowers. The Walker rep is nuts how he rides them!

90% of the landscapers will have a walker mower on the trailer and either a stand-on or a walk behind with the walker mower. those pop's are just because the person is not use to the machine. There is no reason for that. Last thing You either like them or you don't. I love them but i still want to get a exmark 36" hydro walk behind plus a stand-on.

Actually that % number is far less, most of the serious larger companies run toro (look at most golf courses as they run toro to maintain those greens in high standards they do) and then theirs the ones who never want problems run the shaft driven decks & diesel engines such as John deere and Kubota units. But with each one said the costs go up, my Kubota ran 15,000.00 when it was new and in that same retrospect i never (or rarely) have to worry about any breakdowns because the Kubota is built to near industrial quality standards. Most of those walkers, scag, toro & exmark have a shelf life of only about 7 years whereas the bigger diesel machines have a 20 year shelf life in the commercial lawn mowing industry - as long as they are properly taken care of...

I don’t like the idea of that mower deck being caked with all that grass that’s something they need to fix. That’s why it caused the deck to rust out really fast.

Seems like a very nice mower. However I do not know why you would want a mower that the backend seems to constantly come up and try to slide you off the seat and jam you into the control handles.

If someone who is trained to use that machine is having so much trouble on seemingly normal slopes, it’s just not safe and needs a redesign.
