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.
Best suited for
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.
- Cub Cadet PRO X 648 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
- Gravely PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO X 648 has a 10 ga shell w/ 7 ga top & bottom reinforcement deck; PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has a Fabricated X-Factor® 3 deck.
- PRO X 648 weighs 1,015 lbs (460.4 kg); PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI weighs 875 lbs (396.9 kg), a 140 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What PRO X 648's weight means for a trailer ›
- PRO X 648 holds 7.5 gal (28.4 L) of fuel; PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI holds 9 gal (34.1 L) of fuel, a 1.5 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.
- PRO X 648 has a published top speed of 10 mph; PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 9 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.
- PRO X 648 has a 22 hp engine; PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has a 23.5 hp engine, a 1.5 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.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- PRO X 648 works out to 3.9 acres/hour; PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI works out to 3.5 acres/hour, a 0.4 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.
