What each model is built for, from its duty class and key specs. This is a neutral reference — MowerFacts does not rank one model above another.

- Victa 18 in 725 Steel Base Utility Mower — residential: typical home lawns; 18-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Elite uses a Masport engine; 18 in 725 Steel Base Utility Mower uses a Briggs & Stratton engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- Elite has 4 blades; 18 in 725 Steel Base Utility Mower has 2 blades.
- Elite has Auto Choke start; 18 in 725 Steel Base Utility Mower has ReadyStart - No Prime, No Choke start.
- Elite cuts from 10 mm (0.4 in) to 70 mm (2.8 in); 18 in 725 Steel Base Utility Mower cuts from 22 mm (0.9 in) to 65 mm (2.6 in). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Elite weighs 29.7 kg (65 lbs); 18 in 725 Steel Base Utility Mower weighs 26.5 kg (58 lbs), a 3.2 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Elite's weight means for a trailer ›
