Anyone plan on buying this model when it becomes available. If they can keep the price under 8k it would be worth the higher cost over the R22.

Great sharing! I plan to buy it this week.
 
This is an older post but I bought the R22x in February. I also have an R21. The R22x is a slightly bigger machine and it does ride better that the single wheel R21 and R22. One major flaw that I’ve had with the R22x and that’s the Kohler 7000 and the auto choke system and more specifically the electric thermostat. Walker put the muffler (due to the design) right behind the carb and a heat sensitivite thermostat that controls the auto choke (so close you cannot remove the carb until you remove the muffler). I’ve had nothing but troubles with it, even after Kohler sent me a new carb/auto choke assembly. I only have 16 hours on the machine. I’ve spent countless hours researching and have since converted it to a manual choke and spend more money doing it. Machine is A+, the Kohler 7000 auto choke is a junk system. I’m sure the R22 isn’t any different. Funny though, my R21 has 90 hours on it (same auto choke but Kohler 6600) and has never stumbled at start up, hot or cold. I know how to convert to manual if it starts to act up.

Walker zero turn cut quality is excellent. Just not a popular zero turn in this area.

If your Kohler 7000 was that new, why not take it to dealer for warranty on choke system? Yes, this particular choke system is over designed and can be a pain. I have had probably three that I could not fix over the years.
 
I bought a new R22 last month.I really like the machine so far. I had a problem starting the machine when it was hot. Seemed like a vapor lock. Anyway, I removed the rear cover over the muffler. That seemed to fix the problem. I think that rear cover just traps the heat from the exhaust and either causes a vapor lock or it messes with the auto -choke. So I have run it without that cover ever since and it starts just fine, even when it’s hot.
