What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z560XS has Collect/Mulch/Side discharge discharge; 60 in Z Master 6000 Series Horizon has Rubber discharge.
- Z560XS cuts from 25 mm (1 in) to 127 mm (5 in); 60 in Z Master 6000 Series Horizon cuts from 25 mm (1 in) to 140 mm (5.5 in). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Z560XS has a published top speed of 12 mph; 60 in Z Master 6000 Series Horizon has a published top speed of 11.5 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.
- Z560XS weighs 593.8 kg (1,309 lbs); 60 in Z Master 6000 Series Horizon weighs 575.6 kg (1,269 lbs), a 18.1 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z560XS's weight means for a trailer ›
