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 T27i has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck; Walker Model B23 has a 74 in (1,880 mm) deck, a 22 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 ›
- Walker Model T27i weighs 815 lbs (369.7 kg); Walker Model B23 weighs 600 lbs (272.2 kg), a 215 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Walker Model T27i's weight means for a trailer ›
- Walker Model T27i has a 26.5 hp engine; Walker Model B23 has a 22.5 hp engine, a 4 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 T27i has a published top speed of 7 mph; Walker Model B23 has a published top speed of 8 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.
- Walker Model T27i has a 45.6 ci (747 cc) engine; Walker Model B23 has a 41.1 ci (674 cc) engine, a 4.5 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
calculated figures
Calculated by MowerFacts
- Walker Model T27i works out to 2.9 acres/hour; Walker Model B23 works out to 4.8 acres/hour, a 1.8 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.
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.
