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.
- Dixie Chopper BlackHawk HP 60 in (2460KW) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
- Hustler Turf Raptor XDX — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- BlackHawk HP 60 in (2460KW) uses a Kawasaki® FX engine; Raptor XDX uses a Kawasaki FR730 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.
- BlackHawk HP 60 in (2460KW) holds 6.8 gal (25.7 L) of fuel; Raptor XDX holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel, a 3.8 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.
- BlackHawk HP 60 in (2460KW) has a Parker HTJ transmission; Raptor XDX has a Hydro-Gear ZT-3100® transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- BlackHawk HP 60 in (2460KW) has a 23.5 hp engine; Raptor XDX has a 24 hp engine, a 0.5 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.
