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.
- Renegade Diesel has a 67.1 ci (1,100 cc) engine; Turf Tiger II has a 45.6 ci (747 cc) engine, a 21.5 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- Renegade Diesel weighs 1,862 lbs (844.6 kg); Turf Tiger II weighs 1,418 lbs (643.2 kg), a 444 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Renegade Diesel's weight means for a trailer ›
- Renegade Diesel has a 61 in (1,549 mm) deck; Turf Tiger II has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck, a 9 in difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- Renegade Diesel cuts from 2 in (51 mm) to 6 in (152 mm); Turf Tiger II cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 6 in (152 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Renegade Diesel has a published top speed of 13 mph; Turf Tiger II has a published top speed of 12 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.
