Compare Mowers

1. Walker Model R22 uses a Kohler engine; Walker Model B27i uses a Rehlko 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.
2. Walker Model R22 has a 54 in (1,372 mm) deck; Walker Model B27i has a 74 in (1,880 mm) deck, a 20 in difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
3. Walker Model R22 weighs 404 lbs (183.2 kg); Walker Model B27i weighs 606 lbs (274.9 kg), a 202 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Walker Model R22's weight means for a trailer ›
4. Walker Model R22 holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel; Walker Model B27i holds 4.7 gal (17.8 L) of fuel, a 1.7 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.
5. Walker Model R22 has a 22 hp engine; Walker Model B27i has a 26.5 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.

Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
