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 Talon R/C 44 in (2844VGE) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 44-inch deck; gas powered

What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Talon R/C 44 in (2844VGE) holds 2 gal (7.6 L) of fuel; Walker Model B27ix holds 9.4 gal (35.6 L) of fuel, a 7.4 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.
- Talon R/C 44 in (2844VGE) uses a Vanguard® EFI engine; Walker Model B27ix uses a Rehlko 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.
- Talon R/C 44 in (2844VGE) has a 44 in (1,118 mm) deck; Walker Model B27ix has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck, a 4 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 ›
- Talon R/C 44 in (2844VGE) has a 28 hp engine; Walker Model B27ix has a 26.5 hp engine, a 1.5 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.
