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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Rebel SD has a 4400 Hydro-Gear® 16cc Integrated Transaxle transmission; Maverick has a Dual Hydro Gear 3200 transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Rebel SD holds 13 gal (49.2 L) of fuel; Maverick holds 7.8 gal (29.5 L) of fuel, a 5.2 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.
- Rebel SD has a 1/4" or 3-Gauge Thick Solid Steel deck; Maverick has a 3/16" or 7-Gauge Thick Solid Steel deck.
- Rebel SD has a published top speed of 12 mph; Maverick has a published top speed of 9 mph, a 3 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Rebel SD weighs 1,257 lbs (570.2 kg); Maverick weighs 1,005 lbs (456 kg), a 252 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Rebel SD's weight means for a trailer ›

Calculated by MowerFacts
- Rebel SD works out to 5.2 acres/hour; Maverick works out to 3.9 acres/hour, a 1.3 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.
