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.
Best suited for
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.
- Engine Make: Raptor X Kawasaki FR651; Raptor XD Kawasaki FR730; Raptor XDX Kawasaki FR730; Raptor XL Kawasaki FR691. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- List price: Raptor X $4,349; Raptor XD $5,849; Raptor XDX $6,749; Raptor XL $4,849, a $2,400 spread. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Transmission: Raptor X Hydro-Gear ZT-2200; Raptor XD Tuff Torq TZ350; Raptor XDX Hydro-Gear ZT-3100®; Raptor XL Hydro-Gear ZT-2200. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Cutting Width: Raptor X 54 in (1,372 mm); Raptor XD 60 in (1,524 mm); Raptor XDX 60 in (1,524 mm); Raptor XL 48 in (1,219 mm), a 12 in spread. 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 ›
- Weight: Raptor X 625 lbs (283.5 kg); Raptor XD 681 lbs (308.9 kg); Raptor XDX 710 lbs (322.1 kg); Raptor XL 623 lbs (282.6 kg), a 87 lbs spread. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Raptor X's weight means for a trailer ›

Other verified differences
- Engine Power: Raptor X 21.5 hp; Raptor XD 24 hp; Raptor XDX 24 hp; Raptor XL 23 hp, a 2.5 hp spread.
- Ground Speed: Raptor X 7 mph; Raptor XD 7.5 mph; Raptor XDX 8 mph; Raptor XL 7 mph, a 1 mph spread.

Calculated by MowerFacts
- Mowing rate: Raptor X 3.1 acres/hour; Raptor XD 3.6 acres/hour; Raptor XDX 3.9 acres/hour; Raptor XL 2.7 acres/hour, a 1.2 acres/hour spread. 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.
