Compare Mowers
Prices are the recommended retail prices published by each manufacturer’s Australian site, in AUD, as read on the date shown on each model’s page; dealers set the final price.
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.
- 2026 ZT Avenger lists at A$11,935 to A$12,595; 2026 Magnum lists at A$10,340 to A$10,835, a A$1,595 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- 2026 ZT Avenger has a 1,372 mm (54 in) deck; 2026 Magnum has a 1,219 mm (48 in) deck, a 153 mm 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 ›
- 2026 ZT Avenger has a published top speed of 7 mph; 2026 Magnum has a published top speed of 6 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.
- 2026 ZT Avenger weighs 338 kg (745 lbs); 2026 Magnum weighs 299 kg (659 lbs), a 39 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What 2026 ZT Avenger's weight means for a trailer ›
- 2026 ZT Avenger has a 23 hp engine; 2026 Magnum has a 21.5 hp engine, a 1.5 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.
calculated figures
Calculated by MowerFacts
- 2026 ZT Avenger works out to 1.24 ha/hour; 2026 Magnum works out to 0.94 ha/hour, a 0.29 ha/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.
