The Walker looks like a good machine. The "like a Bobcat" controls are typical for what's generically referred to as a "ZTR," for "Zero Turn Radius" mower.

It would be great for someone in the mowing business, or for someone with a very large lawn, but I'd question whether most people would be willing to crack into the "$6,000 and up" price range quoted in their faq section for a yard that's less than a couple of acres. At that price range, one could begin to consider a smaller "real tractor" (i.e. conventional, but bigger than a mower) and plow some of the acres for planting.

The real advantage of the ZTR style is the short pivot that lets you get close-in to all the junk you find in "professionally landscaped" lawns, so they're mostly used on commercial properties or by the professional mowers who have to handle a wide variety of situations on a day to day basis. If someone with their own residence wants enough "obstructions" to justify one, they'd be better off putting in a groundcover that doesn't need mowing in the vicinity of the clutter decorative plantings and statuary.

It's a good looking machine, and has some nice features, but I haven't compared features on machines in this class.
