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.
- Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 52-inch deck; gas powered

What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck; PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI has a 60 in (1,524 mm) deck, a 8 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-TURN 252 KAWASAKI has a 27 hp engine; PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI has a 31 hp engine, a 4 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.
- PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI has a 52 ci (852 cc) engine; PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI has a 61 ci (999 cc) engine, a 9 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI lists at $11,999; PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI lists at $12,499, a $500 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
calculated figures
Calculated by MowerFacts
- PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI works out to 5.5 acres/hour; PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI works out to 6.3 acres/hour, a 0.8 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.
