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 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in) has a published top speed of 8.5 mph; FasTrak SDX 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) cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); FasTrak SDX 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) holds 8 gal (30.3 L) of fuel; FasTrak SDX holds 8.5 gal (32.2 L) of fuel, a 0.5 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.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in) weighs 978 lbs (443.6 kg); FasTrak SDX weighs 944 lbs (428.2 kg), a 34 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)'s weight means for a trailer ›
