Compare Mowers
These mowers are in different classes — showing only attributes they share.
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 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.
- Renegade Diesel uses a Perkins Diesel engine; Spartan RT-HD uses a Vanguard 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.
- Renegade Diesel weighs 1,862 lbs (844.6 kg); Spartan RT-HD weighs 1,143 lbs (518.5 kg), a 719 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 24.7 hp engine; Spartan RT-HD has a 37 hp engine, a 12.3 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.
- Renegade Diesel holds 13 gal (49.2 L) of fuel; Spartan RT-HD holds 9.5 gal (36 L) of fuel, a 3.5 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.
- Renegade Diesel has a published top speed of 13 mph; Spartan RT-HD has a published top speed of 11 mph, a 2 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
