What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- GrandStand 36 in. 15 hp 541cc has a 15 hp engine; Stander X 48 FX730E has a 23.5 hp engine, a 8.5 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.
- GrandStand 36 in. 15 hp 541cc has a 36 in (914 mm) deck; Stander X 48 FX730E has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck, a 12 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 ›
- GrandStand 36 in. 15 hp 541cc has a published top speed of 8 mph; Stander X 48 FX730E has a published top speed of 9.5 mph, a 1.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
