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.
- Z560X 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.
- Z560X 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.
- Z560X has a 999.6 cc (61 ci) engine; ZG327-60 has a 768 cc (46.9 ci) engine, a 231.6 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- Z560X weighs 593.8 kg (1,309 lbs); ZG327-60 weighs 710 kg (1,565 lbs), a 116.2 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z560X's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z560X has a 31 hp engine; ZG327-60 has a 27 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.

Calculated by MowerFacts
- Z560X works out to 2.35 ha/hour; ZG327-60 works out to 2.07 ha/hour, a 0.28 ha/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
