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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Compact ZTR 35 35 in holds 18 L (4.8 gal) of fuel; EDGE 34 BRIGGS holds 7.6 L (2 gal) of fuel, a 10.4 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.
- Compact ZTR 35 35 in has a Hydro-Gear ZT-2200 transmission; EDGE 34 BRIGGS has a Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Compact ZTR 35 35 in has a 24 hp engine; EDGE 34 BRIGGS has a 20 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.
- Compact ZTR 35 35 in has a published top speed of 5 mph; EDGE 34 BRIGGS 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.
- Compact ZTR 35 35 in lists at A$7,999; EDGE 34 BRIGGS lists at A$7,499, a A$500 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
