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 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Renegade Gas weighs 1,628 lbs (738.5 kg); V-Ride XL weighs 1,179 lbs (534.8 kg), a 449 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Renegade Gas's weight means for a trailer ›
- Renegade Gas has a 61 in (1,549 mm) deck; V-Ride XL 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 Gas has a published top speed of 13 mph; V-Ride XL has a published top speed of 11.6 mph, a 1.4 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Renegade Gas holds 13 gal (49.2 L) of fuel; V-Ride XL holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel, a 1 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.
