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 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.
- PRO X 654 holds 7.5 gal (28.4 L) of fuel; Z454XS holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel, a 4.5 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 has a 10-gauge steel deck; Z454XS has a Steel deck.
- PRO X 654 has a 52 ci (852 cc) engine; Z454XS has a 44.3 ci (725.9 cc) engine, a 7.7 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- PRO X 654 weighs 1,080 lbs (489.9 kg); Z454XS weighs 961 lbs (435.9 kg), a 119 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 25.5 hp engine; Z454XS has a 23.5 hp engine, a 2 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.
