Description:

The Model MB23 installs a carbureted 22.5 HP Kohler CH680 Command Pro engine in the new style MB27i chassis. This model offers an entry level machine for commercial and fleet operators with pricing like the legacy MB18. 

Introduced in the 2020 season, the Walker Manufacturing 48-inch multi-function deck operates with collection (GHS) and side discharge functions and features quiet and durable operation with belt-driven blades. Bolt-on baffles allow operators to easily change the function of the deck. The deck fits all GHS tractors except MS14i.

This higher horsepower version of the Model B provides a simplified design and improved performance. It uses a 26.5 HP Kohler EFI engine and Ogura electric blade clutch with Soft Start for convenience and durability for the operator. The simplified chassis, with integrated fenders and seat pan, eliminates the front body used on earlier Model MB. It is also available with an optional utility bed.

The 56-inch side discharge deck has been redesigned to improve cut quality, side discharge performance, and increase durability. The deck housing, carrier frame, and cutting blades have all been changed. In addition, the housing has a LH replaceable wear edge and new baffling, a reinforcing rod added on the front and a molded rubber discharge shield. The cutting blades are flat with an extended cutting edge. The LH caster wheel on the carrier frame also has been repositioned to improve cut quality.
