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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Rebel X uses a Kawasaki engine; Maverick 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.
- Rebel X has a 38.5 hp engine; Maverick has a 25 hp engine, a 13.5 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.
- Rebel X has a 5400 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 X weighs 1,494 lbs (677.7 kg); Maverick weighs 1,005 lbs (456 kg), a 489 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Rebel X's weight means for a trailer ›
- Rebel X 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.
