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.
- Z454XS has a Hydrostatic transmission; V548X has a Pump/Wheel motor transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Z454XS holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; V548X holds 7 gal (26.5 L) of fuel, a 5 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.
- Z454XS weighs 961 lbs (435.9 kg); V548X weighs 1,140 lbs (517.1 kg), a 179 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z454XS's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z454XS has a 54 in (1,372 mm) deck; V548X has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck, a 6 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 ›
- Z454XS has a 44.3 ci (725.9 cc) engine; V548X has a 52 ci (852.1 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.
