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 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Walker Model B27ix holds 9.4 gal (35.6 L) of fuel; Q820EQuikTrak Stand-On Mower holds 5.6 gal (21.2 L) of fuel, a 3.8 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 B27ix has a published top speed of 9.6 mph; Q820EQuikTrak Stand-On Mower has a published top speed of 8 mph, a 1.6 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 B27ix has a 26.5 hp engine; Q820EQuikTrak Stand-On Mower has a 23.5 hp engine, a 3 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.
- Walker Model B27ix weighs 720 lbs (326.6 kg); Q820EQuikTrak Stand-On Mower weighs 800 lbs (362.9 kg), a 80 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Walker Model B27ix's weight means for a trailer ›
- Walker Model B27ix has a 45.6 ci (747 cc) engine; Q820EQuikTrak Stand-On Mower has a 44.3 ci (726 cc) engine, a 1.3 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
