Compare Mowers

These mowers are in different classes — showing only attributes they share.

List prices are the manufacturer’s published figures, re-checked daily; they exclude tax, freight and dealer setup.

A side-by-side reference of each model's stated specifications. MowerFacts doesn’t give opinions: where a published, spec-derived rule can separate machines we mark a Data Pick and show the rule; here, read the values and decide what fits your needs.

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.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
  1. 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.
  2. 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 ›
  3. 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.
  4. 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 ›
  5. 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.

  • TRX 561 i works out to 4.4 acres/hour; V-Ride XL works out to 4.9 acres/hour, a 0.4 acres/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.
