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.

- John Deere Z730MZTrak Zero Turn Mower — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 54-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- MZ54 holds 18.9 L (5 gal) of fuel; Z730MZTrak Zero Turn Mower holds 30.2 L (8 gal) of fuel, a 11.3 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.
- MZ54 weighs 349.3 kg (770 lbs); Z730MZTrak Zero Turn Mower weighs 437.7 kg (965 lbs), a 88.4 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What MZ54's weight means for a trailer ›
- MZ54 has a published top speed of 8.5 mph; Z730MZTrak Zero Turn Mower has a published top speed of 9.5 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.
