What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Maverick HD has a 7 Gauge / 4.5mm deck; PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI has a Fabricated X-Factor ® 2 deck.
- Maverick HD has a 3/16" or 7-Gauge Thick Solid Steel deck; PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI has a 7 ga deck.
- Maverick HD has a 26.5 hp engine; PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI has a 22 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.
- Maverick HD holds 49 L (12.9 gal) of fuel; PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI holds 37.9 L (10 gal) of fuel, a 11.1 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 HD has a published top speed of 9 mph; PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 10 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.
