What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 36 in GrandStand holds 29.5 L (7.8 gal) of fuel; 32 in GrandStand HDM holds 18.9 L (5 gal) of fuel, a 10.6 L difference. Tank size bounds how long a machine runs between stops. Consumption varies with engine, load and speed, so hours per tank are not fixed.
- 36 in GrandStand has a 15 hp engine; 32 in GrandStand HDM has a 18.5 hp engine, a 3.5 hp difference. Published horsepower is the maker's rating at a stated engine speed. It is a different measure from displacement, and two engines of equal rating can pull differently.
- 36 in GrandStand has a 914 mm (36 in) deck; 32 in GrandStand HDM has a 813 mm (32 in) deck, a 101 mm difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- 36 in GrandStand carries a 5-year warranty; 32 in GrandStand HDM carries a 4-year warranty, a 1 year difference. Warranty length is the maker's published term. Conditions and commercial-use limits differ between makers.
- 36 in GrandStand has a published top speed of 8 mph; 32 in GrandStand HDM has a published top speed of 7.5 mph, a 0.6 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.

Calculated by MowerFacts
- 36 in GrandStand works out to 0.94 ha/hour; 32 in GrandStand HDM works out to 0.78 ha/hour, a 0.16 ha/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
