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 SO37 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 61-inch deck; gas powered
- Altoz XC 610 SSi — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 61-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- SO37 uses a Vanguard engine; XC 610 SSi 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.
- SO37 has a published top speed of 10.5 mph; XC 610 SSi has a published top speed of 19 mph, a 8.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- SO37 has a T6 Drive Transmission transmission; XC 610 SSi has a Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- SO37 weighs 1,250 lbs (567 kg); XC 610 SSi weighs 1,400 lbs (635 kg), a 150 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What SO37's weight means for a trailer ›
- SO37 has a 37 hp engine; XC 610 SSi has a 35 hp engine, a 2 hp difference. Published horsepower is the maker's rating at a stated engine speed. It is a different measure from displacement, and two engines of equal rating can pull differently.

Other verified differences
- SO37 holds 13.5 gal (51.1 L) of fuel; XC 610 SSi holds 14 gal (53 L) of fuel, a 0.5 gal difference.
Calculated by MowerFacts
- SO37 works out to 5.2 acres/hour; XC 610 SSi works out to 9.4 acres/hour, a 4.2 acres/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.

- Blades: not published for SO37.
- Deck Material: not published for SO37.
- Cut height range: not published for SO37.
