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 SC300C Lawn Mower — residential: typical home lawns; 21-inch deck; gas powered
- Ariens RAZOR 21 SELF PROPELLED — residential: typical home lawns; 21-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- SC300C Lawn Mower uses a Cub Cadet® engine; RAZOR 21 SELF PROPELLED uses a Briggs & Stratton EXi 725 engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- SC300C Lawn Mower has FWD drive; RAZOR 21 SELF PROPELLED has General Transmission® MA 300 drive.
- SC300C Lawn Mower cuts from 1.3 in (32 mm) to 3.7 in (95 mm); RAZOR 21 SELF PROPELLED cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 4 in (102 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- SC300C Lawn Mower holds 0.3 gal (1.3 L) of fuel; RAZOR 21 SELF PROPELLED holds 0.3 gal (1.1 L) of fuel, a 0 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.
- SC300C Lawn Mower lists at $479; RAZOR 21 SELF PROPELLED lists at $449, a $30 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
