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 X-Series (52 in EFI) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck; gas powered
- Wright ZXT 52 FXT00 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Vertex X-Series (52 in EFI) cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); ZXT 52 FXT00 cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 6 in (152 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Vertex X-Series (52 in EFI) holds 14 gal (53 L) of fuel; ZXT 52 FXT00 holds 15.5 gal (58.7 L) of fuel, a 1.5 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 X-Series (52 in EFI) has a published top speed of 12 mph; ZXT 52 FXT00 has a published top speed of 13 mph, a 1 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- Vertex X-Series (52 in EFI) works out to 5.0 acres/hour; ZXT 52 FXT00 works out to 5.5 acres/hour, a 0.4 acres/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
