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.
- XE 540 weighs 930 lbs (421.8 kg); TRX 561 i weighs 1,540 lbs (698.5 kg), a 610 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What XE 540's weight means for a trailer ›
- XE 540 cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.3 in (108 mm); TRX 561 i cuts from 3 in (76 mm) to 7 in (178 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- XE 540 holds 10 gal (37.9 L) of fuel; TRX 561 i holds 14 gal (53 L) of fuel, a 4 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.
- XE 540 has a 24 hp engine; TRX 561 i has a 29.5 hp engine, a 5.5 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.
- XE 540 has 3 blades; TRX 561 i has 6 blades.

Calculated by MowerFacts
- XE 540 works out to 3.9 acres/hour; TRX 561 i works out to 4.4 acres/hour, a 0.5 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.
