Compare Mowers
Discontinued model in this comparison: John Deere Z515EZTrak Mower (last listed October 2026). It is no longer sold new, and its price is the last one published rather than one you can pay today. The specifications are still accurate and still worth comparing against.
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’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z515EZTrak Mower holds 17 L (4.5 gal) of fuel; 400 Series 448 48 in holds 32 L (8.5 gal) of fuel, a 15 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.
- Z515EZTrak Mower weighs 348.4 kg (768 lbs); 400 Series 448 48 in weighs 285 kg (628 lbs), a 63.4 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z515EZTrak Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z515EZTrak Mower has a published top speed of 8 mph; 400 Series 448 48 in has a published top speed of 7.5 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.
- Z515EZTrak Mower has a 24 hp engine; 400 Series 448 48 in has a 23 hp engine, a 1 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.
