Despite the twists and turns of 2020, Walker Manufacturing retail sales have increased at a good rate over 2019. Like many businesses affected by COVID-19, sales dropped precipitously in the springtime, but rebounded nicely in the summer and fall. Using retail financing deals and warranty registration of sales for comparison, retail sales increased 12 percent and 10 percent respectively in 2020.  

The new Model B23 is going into production this spring. It is the perfect machine for users looking for a carbureted, 23-HP engine with commercial mowing power, packing a lot of muscle into a compact footprint.

Watch for them at your local dealer later this year, and stay tuned for more details on walker.com.
