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.

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.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z460 weighs 373.3 kg (823 lbs); ZG327-60 weighs 710 kg (1,565 lbs), a 336.7 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z460's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z460 uses a Kawasaki engine; ZG327-60 uses a Kubota KGZ770-E2-MA1 engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- Z460 holds 22.7 L (6 gal) of fuel; ZG327-60 holds 49 L (12.9 gal) of fuel, a 26.3 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.
- Z460 has a Hydrostatic transmission; ZG327-60 has a Integral Type HST, Shaft Driven transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Z460 cuts from 38 mm (1.5 in) to 114 mm (4.5 in); ZG327-60 cuts from 25 mm (1 in) to 127 mm (5 in). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
