Walker Mower Dealer near NY/NJ

[ericg]

Hello, does anyone know of any other Walker Mower dealers in the NY/NJ area other than Precision mower in Nanuet, NY. I am looking to purchase two additional Walker 48" mowers with 23hp engines. I am looking to see if I can get a better price than just going to the one dealer in this area.

Try jersey power equipment in clifton nj. They have the lowest prices for new walkers in the area.

Its a ride for you from up there but look into Monmouth Power Equipment. Just bought a walker there, great price, great to work with

Just an update to my post. I was able to get a 2008 42" Walker with the 23hp Kohler for $9300.00 plus tax at Durie Mower in NJ. After visits to some of the dealers suggested here, the price was between $9300 and $9450. I guess there is not a lot of room for negotiation when purchasing a Walker.

My regular Mower shop sells Exmark and they lent me a Navigater Demo. Its nice and didnt cloggn like promised but I have had my Walker ghs for over 15 years (needs replacement) and think I'd like to stick with walker. I work mostly alone and have alot of small accounts along with several large ones. I really wanted to cut down on the grass collection because my pickup gets full in a day and thought maybee a Lazer Z hp however I think it might be too big. I want to eliminate a walk behind besides a push mower. Any insight?

[ericg]

Joe, I have eight Walker machines, one Scag Cougar and an Exmark navigator. I keep going back to the Walker for the cut. We cut four hundred laws a week and the Walkers keep on going. Yes, they are a pain as far as upkeep but they keep going and going. We have machines with over five thousand hours that are going strong. Go with the Walker.

My walkers second engine has just about had it. I'm a paid Firefighter and the lawns are my second job. I'm guessing my walkers about 15 years young and thought instead of replacing the motor I would finance a new one and keep this one as a reserve. Its still working but with the old engine the spring lawns are clogging it up. I just Demoed a Navigater with wet grass and it didnt clogg at all. Do the new Walkers clog and which do you recomend. I want to go with a 42 instead of 48 this time so I can get into some backyards that I now cant. Thanks.

Joe, we love the Walkers. I guess everyone has an opinion and you have to feel comfortable with your purchase especially when you are spending close to 10k for a mower. We have not had any issues with the Walkers clogging especially since the blower wheel diameter was increased a few years ago and has become standard equipment on any new Walker. Why don'y you demo a Walker and then see which is better for you.

Eric Thanks for the input. My first new car was less than the price of theses Walkers. Anyway the Dealer closet to me will sell me a 42 walker for $9900 with the 23 kohler and 10900 for one with 26 EFI. He claims the gas I'LL save with the EFI would be worth it. What do you think. Remember my regular Lawn mower shop only sells Exmark but I think I want the Walker. The other I can do is relace the motor and and deck on my machine but i think that will run me around $4000.

[ericg]

Joe, I cannot speak on the benefits of the EFI Kohler. I am old school and dislike any mower that depends on a computer to run. I hate getting locked into the dealer because they have a program that interrogates the ecm or provides input into engine management. I have owned eleven Walkers since 1998 and most if not all of my machines obtain between four and five thousand hours with minimal parts replacement. Of the parts that require replacement, most are wear items like bushings, tires, belts, etc. Yes, Walkers are maintenance intensive but they are solid machines that do a great job of cutting and bagging. Just my opinion. Good luck whatever you purchase.
