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 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- V-Ride LS uses a Kawasaki®FS600V engine; F60 Zero Turn Mower uses a Kawasaki® FX600V 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.
- V-Ride LS lists at $6,299 to $7,599; F60 Zero Turn Mower lists at $8,249, a $1,950 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- V-Ride LS holds 6.7 gal (25.6 L) of fuel; F60 Zero Turn Mower holds 8 gal (30.3 L) of fuel, a 1.2 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.
- V-Ride LS weighs 716 lbs (324.8 kg); F60 Zero Turn Mower weighs 732 lbs (332 kg), a 16 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What V-Ride LS's weight means for a trailer ›
