What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TRX 561 i has a 29.5 hp engine; V-Ride XL has a 38.5 hp engine, a 9 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.
- TRX 561 i weighs 1,540 lbs (698.5 kg); V-Ride XL weighs 1,179 lbs (534.8 kg), a 361 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What TRX 561 i's weight means for a trailer ›
- TRX 561 i has a published top speed of 9 mph; V-Ride XL has a published top speed of 11.6 mph, a 2.6 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- TRX 561 i has a 61 in (1,549 mm) deck; V-Ride XL has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck, a 9 in 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 ›
- TRX 561 i has a 52 ci (852 cc) engine; V-Ride XL has a 61 ci (999 cc) engine, a 9 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
