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 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- X-RIDE holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; ZXL 61 FX820 holds 15.5 gal (58.7 L) of fuel, a 3.5 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.
- X-RIDE weighs 1,570 lbs (712.1 kg); ZXL 61 FX820 weighs 1,310 lbs (594.2 kg), a 260 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 published top speed of 13 mph; ZXL 61 FX820 has a published top speed of 12.5 mph, a 0.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- X-RIDE cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm); ZXL 61 FX820 cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 6 in (152 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
