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.
- Spartan Spartan RT-HD — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 61-inch deck; gas powered
- Cub Cadet PRO X 660 EFI — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Spartan RT-HD uses a Vanguard engine; PRO X 660 EFI uses a Kawasaki® 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.
- Spartan RT-HD has a 6" Deep, Reinforced 7 Gauge Full-Floating Deck deck; PRO X 660 EFI has a 10 ga shell w/ 7 ga top & bottom reinforcement deck.
- Spartan RT-HD holds 9.5 gal (36 L) of fuel; PRO X 660 EFI holds 7.5 gal (28.4 L) of fuel, a 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.
- Spartan RT-HD has a 60.6 ci (993 cc) engine; PRO X 660 EFI has a 50.2 ci (822 cc) engine, a 10.4 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- Spartan RT-HD has a published top speed of 11 mph; PRO X 660 EFI has a published top speed of 10 mph, a 1 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.

- Spartan RT-HD works out to 5.4 acres/hour; PRO X 660 EFI works out to 4.8 acres/hour, a 0.6 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.
