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.
- Grasshopper 225 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
- Bad Boy Mowers Maverick HD — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 225 uses a Rehlko engine; Maverick HD uses a Kawasaki 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.
- 225 has a G2 Hydrostatic Transmission transmission; Maverick HD has a Dual Hydro Gear 3400 transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- 225 holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; Maverick HD holds 12.9 gal (49 L) of fuel, a 0.9 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.
