You know what's funny, people complain about the third wheel mark but never do on a single wheel sulky behind a w/b. I've also noticed a few complain about them to have walkers or navigator later on.

I was thinking of this thread this AM when I wad mowing a property that I mowed with a mid mount ztr, W/B a tractor mower and now a navigator. There's no comparison. The lawn looks so level and crisp. The thicker the lawns the better. I have a few thick ones I can go nearly wide open. I plugged my ultra vac when I had one going over 5mph. Never plugged the navigator once, even when sopping wet. I would think the walker would be similar.

What do you mean, reverse rotation decks?
Never heard of that before....you are talking about an Walker correct?

They have a 48" and 52" deck and the blades turn the opposite direction of the standard deck. The blades turn the same direction as your traveling thus bending the grass forward, there is really no need for a striping roller. I have tried both decks and prefer to stay with the 48" model.
