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.

- Altoz XE 610 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 61-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- W61RCommercial Walk-Behind Mower holds 5.4 gal (20.4 L) of fuel; XE 610 holds 10 gal (37.9 L) of fuel, a 4.6 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.
- W61RCommercial Walk-Behind Mower weighs 785 lbs (356.1 kg); XE 610 weighs 960 lbs (435.4 kg), a 175 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What W61RCommercial Walk-Behind Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
- W61RCommercial Walk-Behind Mower has a published top speed of 7.5 mph; XE 610 has a published top speed of 9 mph, a 1.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- W61RCommercial Walk-Behind Mower has a 23.5 hp engine; XE 610 has a 24 hp engine, a 0.5 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.
