It’s been more than four years since Cutzgras appeared in Walker Talk, Volume 41. The family-owned business has a nice niche in Port Charlotte, Florida, and Pat, Mark and Dennis Jontos have no desire to shake it up. To the contrary, it’s steady as they go.
They maintain about 60 high-end residential accounts, operate a customized home watch service and have the same three Walker diesel mowers they had when Walker Talk originally visited them. In fact, the company still operates its first Walker Mower purchased in 1994. (It has more than 10,000 hours on it, although the engine was recently rebuilt.) The two other mowers have more than 12,000 hours between them.
The family visited Walker Manufacturing this spring, and spent several hours touring the facility and talking with factory workers. They even had an opportunity to share their Walker Mower experience with workers at an afternoon factory gathering.
“I told them the result of their quality work is the best cutting machine on the market. More importantly, I relayed to them how much of an impact that machine and their efforts make on our lives, and the lives of other Walker Mower users,” said Dennis. “I think they appreciated our candor, and knowing the mowers they build and put into shipping crates have such a positive impact in the field.”
