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.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Walker Model B27i uses a Rehlko engine; PRO Z 772L 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.
- Walker Model B27i has a published top speed of 8 mph; PRO Z 772L has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 4 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Walker Model B27i holds 4.7 gal (17.8 L) of fuel; PRO Z 772L holds 7.4 gal (28.2 L) of fuel, a 2.8 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.
- Walker Model B27i has a 45.6 ci (747 cc) engine; PRO Z 772L has a 61 ci (999 cc) engine, a 15.4 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- Walker Model B27i has a 26.5 hp engine; PRO Z 772L has a 31 hp engine, a 4.5 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.
