Compare Mowers

1. XT2 SLX54 has a 24 hp engine; CC30H Riding Lawn Mower has a 10.5 hp engine, a 13.5 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.
2. XT2 SLX54 has a 54 in (1,372 mm) deck; CC30H Riding Lawn Mower has a 30 in (762 mm) deck, a 24 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 ›
3. XT2 SLX54 lists at $4,299; CC30H Riding Lawn Mower lists at $2,399, a $1,900 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
4. XT2 SLX54 uses a Kohler® engine; CC30H Riding Lawn Mower uses a Briggs & Stratton® 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.
5. XT2 SLX54 holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel; CC30H Riding Lawn Mower holds 1.3 gal (4.9 L) of fuel, a 1.7 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.

Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
