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 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- IS6200 Zero Turn Mower lists at $42,679; V-Ride XL lists at $15,249 to $17,399, a $27,430 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- IS6200 Zero Turn Mower weighs 2,518 lbs (1,142.2 kg); V-Ride XL weighs 1,179 lbs (534.8 kg), a 1,339 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What IS6200 Zero Turn Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
- IS6200 Zero Turn Mower has a 72 in (1,829 mm) deck; V-Ride XL has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck, a 20 in difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- IS6200 Zero Turn Mower has a 103.7 ci (1,700 cc) engine; V-Ride XL has a 61 ci (999 cc) engine, a 42.8 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- IS6200 Zero Turn Mower has a 48 hp engine; V-Ride XL has a 38.5 hp engine, a 9.5 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.
