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.

What’s different? The 2 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 127V lists at $8,760; IS700 Zero Turn Mower lists at $9,954, a $1,194 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- 127V holds 6.5 gal (24.6 L) of fuel; IS700 Zero Turn Mower holds 6 gal (22.7 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.
