Compare Mowers
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.
- XC 610 SSi has a published top speed of 19 mph; ZXL 61 FX820 has a published top speed of 12.5 mph, a 6.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- XC 610 SSi has a Fabricated Steel deck; ZXL 61 FX820 has a 7 Gauge deck.
- XC 610 SSi cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); ZXL 61 FX820 cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 6 in (152 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- XC 610 SSi has a 61 ci (999 cc) engine; ZXL 61 FX820 has a 50.2 ci (822 cc) engine, a 10.8 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- XC 610 SSi holds 14 gal (53 L) of fuel; ZXL 61 FX820 holds 15.5 gal (58.7 L) of fuel, a 1.5 gal 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.
