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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Exmark Navigator Mower lists at $20,899; Commercial 21 X-Series (ECX160) lists at $1,999, a $18,900 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Exmark Navigator Mower weighs 1,191 lbs (540.2 kg); Commercial 21 X-Series (ECX160) weighs 112 lbs (50.8 kg), a 1,079 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Exmark Navigator Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
- Exmark Navigator Mower has a 26.5 hp engine; Commercial 21 X-Series (ECX160) has a 5.5 hp engine, a 21 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.
- Exmark Navigator Mower has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck; Commercial 21 X-Series (ECX160) has a 21 in (533 mm) deck, a 27 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 ›
- Exmark Navigator Mower holds 7.5 gal (28.4 L) of fuel; Commercial 21 X-Series (ECX160) holds 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel, a 6.5 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.
