The new DR64 rear discharge deck is a scaled-up version of the DR52 for applications with larger spaces and needing high-production mowing. The combination of mulch action and rear discharge of clippings of this deck gives a nice spreading of clippings and finished appearance. The design of the deck footrest offers individual foot pads and six easily adjustable positions. The deck footrest is mounted on the carrier frame for extra security.
An optional kit installs a utility bed on the Model S14 non-collection tractor for increased versatility. The bed is hinged on the back for dumping and uses a gas spring to hold the bed in the “up” position. This is a simple bolt-on kit that is dealer or customer-installed. Order Kit P/N 5650-10.
In May (2015), U.S. patent #9,032,701 was granted to Dean Walker and Walker Manufacturing, covering the design of the GHS blower system developed for the Model MS14.
This unique design simplifies and compacts the drive train by powering the blower and the mower deck with a common drive shaft. The resulting benefits to the MS14 are reduced cost while maintaining strong performance of the GHS blower and compact size of the tractor.
A new production line has been installed at the factory to assemble all of the non-collection models, MB and MH, plus the MS14. This move consolidated two production lines used previously into one line with increased output capacity for all of these models. The design of racking and storage bins along the production line optimizes the flow of component parts into assembly; enhanced lighting was added to boost workplace comfort and efficiency.
Walker is introducing the DC42R deck with reverse-rotation cutting blades which offers smooth cutting in the blade overlap area and good clog resistance. With the addition of the 42” deck using the reverse-rotation blade design, all four of the Walker GHS decks sizes from 36” to 52” are now available in the reverse-rotation configuration. The standard-rotation GHS decks continue to be available in the 42” and 48” deck sizes for operators who prefer the original deck design.
