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.
- X-RIDE uses a Kawasaki FX820 EVO EFI engine; FasTrak uses a Kawasaki FT730 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-RIDE weighs 1,570 lbs (712.1 kg); FasTrak weighs 944 lbs (428.2 kg), a 626 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What X-RIDE's weight means for a trailer ›
- X-RIDE has a Hydro-Gear® ZT-5400® transmission; FasTrak has a Hydro-Gear ZT-3200™ transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- X-RIDE has a 34.5 hp engine; FasTrak has a 24 hp engine, a 10.5 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-RIDE cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm); FasTrak cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.5 in (114 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.

Calculated by MowerFacts
- X-RIDE works out to 6.3 acres/hour; FasTrak works out to 4.8 acres/hour, a 1.5 acres/hour difference. 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.
Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
