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.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) uses a Kohler ECV740 engine; FasTrak uses a Kawasaki FT730 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.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) has a published top speed of 8.5 mph; FasTrak has a published top speed of 10 mph, a 1.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); FasTrak cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.5 in (114 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) weighs 1,026 lbs (465.4 kg); FasTrak weighs 944 lbs (428.2 kg), a 82 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI)'s weight means for a trailer ›
- Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) has a 25 hp engine; FasTrak has a 24 hp engine, a 1 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.
