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 725DT — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck
- Scag Turf Tiger II — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 725DT holds 8 gal (30.3 L) of fuel; Turf Tiger II holds 12 gal (45.4 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.
- 725DT has a 54.8 ci (898 cc) engine; Turf Tiger II has a 45.6 ci (747 cc) engine, a 9.2 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- 725DT lists at $18,550; Turf Tiger II lists at $16,999 to $25,399, a $1,551 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
