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.
- Z560X has a Hydrostatic transmission; Spartan SRTXD 61 in Zero Turn Mower has a Parker HTG 16cc wheel motors transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Z560X has Collect/Mulch/Side discharge discharge; Spartan SRTXD 61 in Zero Turn Mower has High density, rubberised discharge.
- Z560X holds 45.4 L (12 gal) of fuel; Spartan SRTXD 61 in Zero Turn Mower holds 36 L (9.5 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.
- Z560X has a 31 hp engine; Spartan SRTXD 61 in Zero Turn Mower has a 35 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.
- Z560X has a published top speed of 12 mph; Spartan SRTXD 61 in Zero Turn Mower has a published top speed of 13 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.
