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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- V548X weighs 1,140 lbs (517.1 kg); Vertex S-Series (48 in) weighs 925 lbs (419.6 kg), a 215 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What V548X's weight means for a trailer ›
- V548X has a published top speed of 10 mph; Vertex S-Series (48 in) has a published top speed of 8.5 mph, a 1.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- V548X has a 52 ci (852.1 cc) engine; Vertex S-Series (48 in) has a 44.3 ci (726 cc) engine, a 7.7 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- V548X holds 7 gal (26.5 L) of fuel; Vertex S-Series (48 in) holds 8 gal (30.3 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.
- V548X lists at $12,299; Vertex S-Series (48 in) lists at $13,199, a $900 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
