26 HP Walker Mower Purchase

[S. Scapes]

Ok, I found a 2000 Walker MT with the GHS, 26 HP EFI and 48 inch deck. It has exactly 400 hours on it and I can pick it up today for $4800. I know this mower is 12 years old but Walker hasn't really change their design that much from then to now. I was wondering if this year model had a lot of problems. I know the price is very nice and everything checks out ok.

that sounds like a great price. I have a 2000 26FI and still running strong with 1800 hrs on it, I have 2 others a 2004 and a 2009. A few minor changes, nothing major. Good luck. We are looking for a new one now. You will love them during clean ups.

Thanks man! I was just hoping the 2000 models weren't a bad year to buy. Hopefully I'll be picking it up this weekend!

when the fan wears out upgrade to the larger fan housing and impeller.

Offer $2200. It's 12 years old! Good luck finding parts. Everything breaks and wears out especially little switches and plastic pieces. Not worth 4800 at 4-5 years. You can find something better and more versitile than a silly walker for that price.

I was thinking $4500 for a 2000 was high, so I did a search, but I only found a
2008 Walker Super B $5,500
876 Hours, 27HP Kohler, 60" Deck
Kromminga Motors, Inc
(319) 465-5443

So I guess a unit that only got 33-hours a year put on it, would be a better buy then one that received 220-hours a year.

CONGRATS! HAPPY MOWING!

Good luck finding parts?? Really?? That won't be an issue at all

The owner only used it for his home but he's old and wants to sell. I'll bark it down more once I see it for sure since it is an older mower. I need the mower because I am targeting high-end residential properties and it will be very handy with fall around the corner too.

I have a 2000 Walker 26 EFI and LOVE it. I bought it new and I would buy this one out from under you in a second for that price in a second. My mower has 2100 hours on it and I have had a few issues but they were later in hours. I replaced the starter at 800 hours and a hydro pump at about 1200 hours or so. At 400 hours of homeowner use you basicially have a new mower.
Parts are NOT an issue, EVERY part is still available. If you need help finding them just let me know.
I would recommend buying this without question.

Thanks for the advice MOW ED and everyone else! Hopefully everything goes right this weekend
