Lanelle is on a distinguished road
In our area, Exmark is far more popular than Walker.
The only issue that I see is which brand has the better dealer/service shop in your area.

Id really like to have a walker to add to all my exmarks but I dont want to deal with all the associated clippings.

That's what I tell everyone about hydros, once you use one you'll never want to go back to a belt drive. A hydro will mow circles around a belt drive and you'll be less fatigued at the end of the day to boot.

We don't have a Walker dealer within 50 miles of here, I've only ever seen one used. The Exmark dealer is not strong for service, we see more Bobcat and Scag than Exmark.
