i am interested in buying a lawn mower for starting lawn business i looked at walker brand with grass catcher and also a x mark navagator with the same features can any one tell me what one they would buy and why

I have used Walker mowers for about 15 years. I love them. I know them inside and out, every nut, bolt, sensor, pulley and wire. I know nothing about the Navigator except that Exmark mowers are widely used in the business and they designed the machine to include the features that Walkers have always had. That brings this line to mind: "Why buy the copy when you can have the real thing?"
Walker has been refining that design since 1982? or so. They have learned alot about that design and have slowly introduced new features that have greatly improved on the original design. Today's Walker mower is light years ahead of the original in terms of productivity and durability. Last year they upgraded the GHS blower that sucks up the clippings and that has, once again, transformed the machine. Now it can move through heavier grass even faster than before and can handle wet grass even better.
The Exmark does have alot of plastic on it that the Walker doesn't have. The Exmark sits taller than the Walker which is a big deal. First, when you sit closer to the grass you are way more aware of the cut quality. You will know if you need to sharpen your blades or clean out your deck right away when you are that close to the grass and you can lean over and pick up sticks and trash and rocks. Plus you can mow under low hanging limbs easier if you are lower and can mow hills better because the center of gravity is lower.
The 26 EFI machine with the large bagger, a 48" deck is the commercial standard in Southern Maine and most of New England. It is THE machine to have and I believe customers expect to see it. Get the power dump feature and you will thank yourself a hundred times a day. There also is a high dump feature that lifts the bagger high and then dumps into a truck. That looks great too.
Test both machines but remember that the correct tool may be harder to use the first time using it but when you train yourself to use it properly you will be better off than buying the machine that is easier the first time out but limited in capability long term.
Enjoy...

Hi,
my 8 month old son is now trying to walk, so I wanted get him a push toy. I've seen great reviews on Radio Flyer Walker Wagon and some reviewers actually said that they got it for their 8 month old or 9 month old and it was great...... But it seems like the handle bar would be too high for my 31" tall baby. The wagon is 22". What do you think? I just don't want to waste money....Thank you so much for your help.

The wagon is only 17" high (about half the height of your baby) the 22" is the length, so your baby will be able to reach the handle easily.

The specs are 17"H x 12"W x 22"L shown here...

The recommended ages are 1 to 4 years old in the "Details" tab on the above site, so 9 months might be a little young. More importantly there's a recall warning for the Radio Flyer Walker Wagon found it here...
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtm l05/05230.html
Supposedly the Black "Clickers" are dangerous and can break off and the clear "clickers" are supposedly okay, it's in the recall details.

The notice was put out almost 4 years ago so most of the faulty models with the black "clickers" should be off the market, but if you plan to buy one of these online or used be sure to check the "clickers" since it is possible to still end up with one of the recall versions.

I was recently given one, has anybody had one?
What did you think about it?

I have not used the one you specified, though we do have a Safety 1st walker for our daughter (A Disney Princess one).

I like it, and most importantly-she does. My only complaint is that it is not more height adjustable and I do wish it came with a brakes feature.

As with anything, if used in excess or irresponsibly (such as at the top of a flight of stairs or without adult supervision), it poses a risk. Used properly and with supervision, it is as safe as any other baby product.

I had to read The Devil and Tom Walker for my English class. I read it and I'm not sure of the answers on my review sheet. I have to know the Exposition, Rising Action, Conflict, Climax, Falling Action, and the Resolution. They are the only ones I have left. Please if anyone could just help me id appreciate it.
