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.
- Exmark Vertex E-Series (36 in) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 36-inch deck; gas powered

What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Vertex E-Series (36 in) holds 5 gal (18.9 L) of fuel; PRO-STANCE 36 KAWASAKI holds 6 gal (22.7 L) of fuel, a 1 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.
- Vertex E-Series (36 in) lists at $10,399; PRO-STANCE 36 KAWASAKI lists at $9,559, a $840 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Vertex E-Series (36 in) has a published top speed of 7.5 mph; PRO-STANCE 36 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 8 mph, a 0.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
