Compare Mowers
These mowers are in different classes — showing only attributes they share.
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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO-STANCE ULTRA 72 FX1000 EFI has a 72 in (1,829 mm) deck; V-Ride XL has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck, a 20 in difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- PRO-STANCE ULTRA 72 FX1000 EFI has Parker HTG drive; V-Ride XL has Dual Pump & Motor drive.
- PRO-STANCE ULTRA 72 FX1000 EFI holds 16 gal (60.6 L) of fuel; V-Ride XL 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.
- PRO-STANCE ULTRA 72 FX1000 EFI weighs 1,440 lbs (653.2 kg); V-Ride XL weighs 1,179 lbs (534.8 kg), a 261 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What PRO-STANCE ULTRA 72 FX1000 EFI's weight means for a trailer ›
- PRO-STANCE ULTRA 72 FX1000 EFI has a published top speed of 12.5 mph; V-Ride XL has a published top speed of 11.6 mph, a 0.9 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.

- PRO-STANCE ULTRA 72 FX1000 EFI works out to 7.3 acres/hour; V-Ride XL works out to 4.9 acres/hour, a 2.4 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.
Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
