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.

What’s different? The 2 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 400D holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; 900D 1.3L holds 8 gal (30.3 L) of fuel, a 4 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.
- 400D lists at $20,460; 900D 1.3L lists at $23,895, a $3,435 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
