His business card does not say "salesman." But when it comes to a Walker mower, Ned Christian of St. Mary Bourne England is happy to sing the praises of his successes with the Walker.
"I would have nothing else," relays Christian, "and I am happy to tell people that." That's exactly what he does. When the Walker mower importer for England or the local dealer has a potential customer who needs to "hear from a real user," Christian fits the bill.
"They call me or come and see me, and I tell them or show them they can do anything, and do it well, with this mower," raves Christian. After eight years of mowing and nearly 6,000 hours on three Walkers, this retired farmer is truly qualified to make recommendations to potential customers.
Christian describes his endearment to the Walker mower by referring to his first experience mowing a local cemetery. " The way I figured it, if it would work that well in a cemetery, it should work just great on a regular lawn. And that is exactly what it has done."
Christian proudly manicures the English grass on his 30 accounts each week. He says one of his secrets is that he actually enjoys riding the mower, and his customers know that.
"I think I have had some customers ask me to mow their lawns only because they like to see me ride the Walker around," he speculates. Christian says he is not picky about who he mows for. "I am just excited to be retired from farming and have a way to earn a living that I still enjoy."
