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 225V-G4 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck; gas powered
- Grasshopper 127V — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 225V-G4 uses a Rehlko engine; 127V uses a Briggs & Stratton 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.
- 225V-G4 has a Hydro-Gear ZT-4400 Transmission transmission; 127V has a Parker HTE Transmission transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- 225V-G4 lists at $11,310; 127V lists at $8,760, a $2,550 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- 225V-G4 has a 45.6 ci (747 cc) engine; 127V has a 49.4 ci (810 cc) engine, a 3.8 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
