Tyre Wise Fee Applies With This Product

Please note that the Tyrewise fee of $36 applies. Tyrewise is Aotearoa New Zealand's national product stewardship scheme for recycling end-of-life tyres. Funded by a stewardship fee on new tyre purchases, it aims to prevent used tyres from being dumped or sent to landfills and instead repurpose them into new products.

Productive. Valuable. Easy.

It features the patented Grass Handling System using a 12.5 inch, two-piece blower assembly with Thru-Shaft PTO providing powerful suction and leaving a clean, smooth cut. With thicker scroll and backplate, the two-piece blower is not only more durable, but repairs or replacement are now much easier.

Mower blades and powered attachments are now driven by an electric Ogura PTO clutch with Soft Start technology, simplifying maintenance and providing easy, worry-free operation of the PTO in any season.

Able to run 36 to 56 inch decks, the S18 is the perfect choice for residential properties, gated yards, and demanding customers.

This machine is a premium Walker Mower priced for residential owners.
