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.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z554L holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; PRO X 654 holds 7.5 gal (28.4 L) of fuel, a 4.5 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.
- Z554L has a Steel deck; PRO X 654 has a 10-gauge steel deck.
- Z554L lists at $13,999; PRO X 654 lists at $11,199, a $2,800 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Z554L has a published top speed of 12 mph; PRO X 654 has a published top speed of 10 mph, a 2 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Z554L weighs 1,215 lbs (551.1 kg); PRO X 654 weighs 1,080 lbs (489.9 kg), a 135 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z554L's weight means for a trailer ›
