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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Super S cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm); RC Extreme Slope Mower cuts from 3.5 in (89 mm) to 11.5 in (292 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Super S has a published top speed of 9 mph; RC Extreme Slope Mower has a published top speed of 3 mph, a 6 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Super S weighs 1,207 lbs (547.5 kg); RC Extreme Slope Mower weighs 2,400 lbs (1,088.6 kg), a 1,193 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Super S's weight means for a trailer ›
- Super S has a 29.5 hp engine; RC Extreme Slope Mower has a 37 hp engine, a 7.5 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.
- Super S has a 60 in (1,524 mm) deck; RC Extreme Slope Mower has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck, a 8 in difference. 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 ›
