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 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 IS6200 Zero Turn Mower — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 72-inch deck
- Dixie Chopper Classic 72 in (4072VGE) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 72-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- IS6200 Zero Turn Mower uses a CAT Turbo Diesel engine; Classic 72 in (4072VGE) uses a Vanguard® Big Block EFI 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.
- IS6200 Zero Turn Mower has a 48 hp engine; Classic 72 in (4072VGE) has a 40 hp engine, a 8 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.
- IS6200 Zero Turn Mower holds 15 gal (56.8 L) of fuel; Classic 72 in (4072VGE) holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel, a 3 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.
