The Walker Model S18 Commercial Lawn Mower (2024)

FAQs

How many hours do Walker mowers last? ›

Says Emmett, “If your Walker Mower is powered by 23-hp engine, it should go approximately 2,300 hours before the engine needs replacing. This is long before the machine's lifecycle is up.

The general rule of thumb is, if you can complete the job in under 40 minutes, a self-propelled walk behind is every bit as efficient as a zero turn and often more so. This is especially true if you will be using your mower for commercial work.

With proper care I would expect 2000hrs average. 1500-3000 is generally the range. Abused = shorter.

ZT7000 Overview. Built to boost your bottom line, the ZT7000 zero-turn mower is the peak of toughness and best-in-the-business performance. With transport speeds up to 19 mph and mowing speeds up to 13 mph, you can knock out quality results, job after job.

With a machine weight substantially less than competitive mowers, the Walker will mow with less turf compaction and without flattening the grass, thus protecting the ground surface and those beautiful lawns.

Commercial mowers are meant to last almost as long as you want them to depending on care. 2000 - 3,500 hours appear to be the bench mark for many.

Commercial mower blades can turn at speeds between 2700 to 3200 rpm, which makes them about 2-3 times faster than residential blades. That speed allows them to power through tall, thick grass and leave behind an even cut. Commercial blades are also heavier and more durable, so they can withstand constant use.

Commercial mowers are designed for mowing 2-20 times a day or running for 12 hrs straight vs a residential mower being designed for 1-2 mows per week and running 6 hrs or less per mow. Commercial mowers are also designed with greater speed to increase productivity.

Sure gas mowers need fuel, oil, spark plugs, oil changes and other maintenance but the good ones (I currently have a Honda) can last 20 years no problem if properly maintained.

Push mowers also come with break-in oil and that initial oil change should come at 8 hours. After that, a commercial engine should need an oil change about every 100 hours, or about every 2-3 weeks if you are using your mower all day every day.

Which lawn mower lasts the longest? ›

Push or Self-Propelled: Which Runs Longer? Battery push mowers typically last about 10 minutes longer than comparable self-propelled mowers using the same battery type. That's because push mowers don't need to use their battery power for their propulsion as self-propelled mowers do.

If you take good care of it, and know how to service it yourself, a good quality push gasoline engine mower can last a couple of thousand hours of running time. But it's more likely it will fail MUCH sooner, due to simple age related problems, like rubber parts failing, or from lack of good maintenance.

Medicare will also pay to replace your walker if it's lost or stolen, and for repair or replacement if it's worn out or broken. Typically, a walker will last two to three years, so if you have one long-term, you may eventually need a repair.

Two thousand hours is generally the number you'll hit without any major repairs.
