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.
- Ferris 300S Zero Turn Mower — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; gas powered
- Hustler Turf Raptor XL — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 2 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 300S Zero Turn Mower uses a Kawasaki® FR651V 21.5hp engine; Raptor XL uses a Kawasaki FR691 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.
- 300S Zero Turn Mower lists at $5,279; Raptor XL lists at $4,849, a $430 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
