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.
- Mean Green EVO — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 74-inch deck; battery (no fuel or engine maintenance)
- Mean Green Rival — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; battery (no fuel or engine maintenance)
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- EVO has a 74 in (1,880 mm) deck; Rival has a 60 in (1,524 mm) deck, a 14 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 ›
- EVO has a published top speed of 13 mph; Rival has a published top speed of 11.5 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.
- EVO cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm); Rival cuts from 0.5 in (13 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.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- EVO works out to 7.8 acres/hour; Rival works out to 5.6 acres/hour, a 2.2 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.
Not comparable
- Weight: not published for EVO.
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.
