John Deere Commercial Walk-Behind Mowers

A commercial walk-behind mower goes where riders cannot: through backyard gates and into tight, fenced spaces. Every John Deere walk-behind has a floating mower deck and a self-propelled hydrostatic drive, so the operator steers and the machine does the pulling.

Koenig Equipment sells M and R models in deck widths from 36 to 61 inches across Ohio and Indiana. Request a quote on any model, and our team will help you size a mower to the properties you cut.

Commercial Walk-Behind Mower FAQs

What is the difference between the M and R walk-behind mowers?
The M models (W36M and W48M) use a 14.5 HP V-twin engine. The R models offer more power, from 15.5 HP on the W36R up to 23.5 HP on the W61R, and add the larger 52 and 61 inch deck sizes.

What deck size should I choose?
A 36 inch deck fits through more backyard gates and tight spaces. The 48 and 52 inch decks cover more ground on open lawns, and the 61 inch W61R is the widest in the line.

Do John Deere walk-behind mowers have a hydrostatic drive?
Yes. Every model listed here is self-propelled with a hydrostatic drive system and a floating mower deck.

Can a John Deere walk-behind mower run on propane?
John Deere offers EPA-approved, field-installed propane conversion kits for specific commercial walk-behind mowers. Propane tanks are not included. Ask our team which models qualify.

What warranty comes with a John Deere commercial walk-behind?
The W36M, W48M, W36R, W48R, W52R and W61R carry a 24-month warranty.
