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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO X 654 lists at $11,199; MZ 61 ROPS Special Edition lists at $6,999, a $4,200 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- PRO X 654 has a 10-gauge steel deck; MZ 61 ROPS Special Edition has a Steel deck.
- PRO X 654 holds 7.5 gal (28.4 L) of fuel; MZ 61 ROPS Special Edition holds 5 gal (18.9 L) of fuel, a 2.5 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 654 weighs 1,080 lbs (489.9 kg); MZ 61 ROPS Special Edition weighs 844 lbs (382.8 kg), a 236 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What PRO X 654's weight means for a trailer ›
- PRO X 654 has a 54 in (1,372 mm) deck; MZ 61 ROPS Special Edition has a 61 in (1,549 mm) deck, a 7 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 ›
