The Walker Story

American Ingenuity at its finest. The story of the Walker Mower from its humble beginnings to being a premier zero-turn mower with true, year round productivity.

On September 19, 2011, company founder Wesley “Max” Walker went home to be with the Lord. Max left a legacy of honesty, hard work and a commitment to loving people. Those who worked with Max would describe him as a servant, a friend and a faithful follower of the Bible. It was easy to see that he had the entrepreneurial spirit, yet he was careful to always recognize the Lord as his source of blessing, talent and strength. Walker Manufacturing continues to run under the direction of Max’s two sons: Bob oversees the business and marketing areas of the company, and Dean oversees product development and manufacturing operations. The Walker family maintains 100% ownership of the company and is carefully planning for the third generation of Walkers to carry on the business.

Innovations continue to be made to the product line including a focus on better fuel efficiency and improved performance. Efforts continue to be made at the factory to increase efficiency in manufacturing with better machines and improved processes including the implementation of a new manufacturing software operating system. The Walker Mower is distributed throughout the United States and into 28 other countries. We are thankful for the thousands of people who have recognized the benefit of our product and invested in a Walker Mower. We truly enjoy how our product brings people together and the relationships we have formed over the years.
