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.
- Bad Boy Mowers Raider (Walk-Behind) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 36-inch deck; gas powered
- Exmark Vertex E-Series (36 in) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 36-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Raider (Walk-Behind) has a published top speed of 6 mph; Vertex E-Series (36 in) has a published top speed of 7.5 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.
- Raider (Walk-Behind) weighs 652 lbs (295.7 kg); Vertex E-Series (36 in) weighs 779 lbs (353.4 kg), a 127 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Raider (Walk-Behind)'s weight means for a trailer ›
- Raider (Walk-Behind) cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); Vertex E-Series (36 in) cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 4.5 in (114 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
