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.
Best suited for
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.
- Bad Boy Mowers MZ Rambler — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
- Bad Boy Mowers 2026 Rambler — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- MZ Rambler has a 7 gauge / 4.5mm deck; 2026 Rambler has a 7 Gauge/4.55mm deck.
- MZ Rambler has a 540 cc (33 ci) engine; 2026 Rambler has a 726 cc (44.3 ci) engine, a 186 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- MZ Rambler has a 19 hp engine; 2026 Rambler has a 21.5 hp engine, a 2.5 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.
- MZ Rambler holds 18.9 L (5 gal) of fuel; 2026 Rambler holds 22.7 L (6 gal) of fuel, a 3.8 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.
