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 Z 772L — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 72-inch deck; gas powered
- Exmark Vertex X-Series (72 in) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 72-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO Z 772L holds 7.4 gal (28.2 L) of fuel; Vertex X-Series (72 in) holds 14 gal (53 L) of fuel, a 6.6 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 Z 772L has a 31 hp engine; Vertex X-Series (72 in) has a 35 hp engine, a 4 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.
- PRO Z 772L lists at $14,599; Vertex X-Series (72 in) lists at $16,099, a $1,500 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
