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’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Falcon HPX 54 in (2454KW) has a Hydro-Gear ZT-3200 transmission; BlackHawk 48 in (2448KW) 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.
- Falcon HPX 54 in (2454KW) holds 5.5 gal (20.8 L) of fuel; BlackHawk 48 in (2448KW) holds 6.8 gal (25.7 L) of fuel, a 1.3 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.
- Falcon HPX 54 in (2454KW) has a 54 in (1,372 mm) deck; BlackHawk 48 in (2448KW) has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck, a 6 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 ›
