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.
- Hustler Turf X-ONE — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 72-inch deck; gas powered
- Exmark Vertex X-Series (72 in) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 72-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- X-ONE uses a Kawasaki FX850, FX850 EFI engine; Vertex X-Series (72 in) uses a Kawasaki FX1000V engine. 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.
- X-ONE has a 27 hp engine; Vertex X-Series (72 in) has a 35 hp engine, a 8 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.
- X-ONE cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm); Vertex X-Series (72 in) cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- X-ONE has a 52 ci (852 cc) engine; Vertex X-Series (72 in) 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.
- X-ONE holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; Vertex X-Series (72 in) holds 14 gal (53 L) of fuel, a 2 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.
