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.
- Maverick uses a Kohler engine; PRO-TURN ZX 52 KAWASAKI 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.
- Maverick holds 29.5 L (7.8 gal) of fuel; PRO-TURN ZX 52 KAWASAKI holds 19.3 L (5.1 gal) of fuel, a 10.2 L 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.
- Maverick has a 7 Gauge / 4.5mm deck; PRO-TURN ZX 52 KAWASAKI has a Fabricated X-Factor® 3 deck.
- Maverick has a 3/16" or 7-Gauge Thick Solid Steel deck; PRO-TURN ZX 52 KAWASAKI has a 7 ga deck.
- Maverick has a 25 hp engine; PRO-TURN ZX 52 KAWASAKI has a 23.5 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.
