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 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 623T lists at $15,870; 125VB lists at $8,760, a $7,110 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- 623T uses a Rehlko engine; 125VB 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.
- 623T has a T-Drive Transmission transmission; 125VB 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.
- 623T weighs 1,040 lbs (471.7 kg); 125VB weighs 700 lbs (317.5 kg), a 340 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What 623T's weight means for a trailer ›
- 623T holds 4 gal (15.1 L) of fuel; 125VB holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel, a 1 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.
