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.
Best suited for
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 holds 10 gal (37.9 L) of fuel; Walker Model R22x holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel, a 7 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 uses a Kawasaki engine; Walker Model R22x uses a Kohler engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- XE 540 weighs 930 lbs (421.8 kg); Walker Model R22x weighs 703 lbs (318.9 kg), a 227 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 has a published top speed of 9 mph; Walker Model R22x has a published top speed of 8 mph, a 1 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- XE 540 has a 24 hp engine; Walker Model R22x has a 22 hp engine, a 2 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.
