Models MB23i and MH24d are now using a larger Donaldson engine air cleaner to offer extra capacity (and less frequent servicing), better filtration action and engine protection.
Several parts of the 40-inch A10 dethatcher attachment were redesigned for improved durability and performance. The tine tray was reinforced by adding a structural spar to the leading edge. The foot trigger latch now uses a captured design for a better lift-and-release action. The new lift handle has a more comfortable grip position for the operator and the lift lever folds for compact storage. The optional P/N 6606-11 wall-mount bracket stores the dethatcher on a trailer or garage wall.
Both 11- and 13-inch tail-wheel and deck-wheel tires were upgraded to a six-ply rating with additional rubber in the tread area of the tire for extra puncture resistance, wear capacity and durability. The six-ply is being used on MB, MT and MD tractor tail-wheels and on all deck caster wheels with a cutting width of 52 inches or larger (except on the DS56). The new tires also fit on earlier units.
A kit is available to mount the Spyker S80-12010 Pro Series commercial spreader (purchased separately) on the 42-, 48- or 52-inch geardriven Walker Mower deck carrier frame. The spreader easily attaches to the Walker without tools. The kit includes a Walker-designed control module bracket and gate control lever, both placed for easy reach by the operator.
