What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z146 holds 13.2 L (3.5 gal) of fuel; 2026 Magnum holds 22.7 L (6 gal) of fuel, a 9.5 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.
- Z146 has a Stamped, Reinforced deck; 2026 Magnum has a 7 Gauge/4.55mm deck.
- Z146 lists at A$8,999; 2026 Magnum lists at A$10,340 to A$10,835, a A$1,341 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Z146 weighs 263 kg (580 lbs); 2026 Magnum weighs 299 kg (659 lbs), a 36 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z146's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z146 has a published top speed of 6.5 mph; 2026 Magnum has a published top speed of 6 mph, a 0.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
