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.
- Dixie Chopper Eagle HP 60 in (3560KW) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
- Dixie Chopper BlackHawk 60 in (2460KW) — 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.
- Eagle HP 60 in (3560KW) uses a Kawasaki® FX engine; BlackHawk 60 in (2460KW) uses a Kawasaki® FT 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.
- Eagle HP 60 in (3560KW) has a 35 hp engine; BlackHawk 60 in (2460KW) has a 24 hp engine, a 11 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.
- Eagle HP 60 in (3560KW) has a Hydro-Gear® ZT-5400 transmission; BlackHawk 60 in (2460KW) has a Parker HTE transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Eagle HP 60 in (3560KW) holds 10 gal (37.9 L) of fuel; BlackHawk 60 in (2460KW) holds 6.8 gal (25.7 L) of fuel, a 3.2 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.
