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 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 D21d uses a Kubota engine; Stander X 52 FX730E 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 D21d runs on Diesel (2-D); Stander X 52 FX730E runs on Gasoline. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
- Walker Model D21d holds 4.7 gal (17.8 L) of fuel; Stander X 52 FX730E holds 8 gal (30.3 L) of fuel, a 3.3 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 D21d has a published top speed of 6.5 mph; Stander X 52 FX730E has a published top speed of 9.5 mph, a 3 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 D21d cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 4 in (102 mm); Stander X 52 FX730E cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
