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.
- GZD15-3HD has a 10,670 mm (420.1 in) deck; ZD1011-54 has a 1,372 mm (54 in) deck, a 9,298 mm difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- GZD15-3HD uses a Kubota Z602 engine; ZD1011-54 uses a Kubota D782-E4-ZD-3 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.
- GZD15-3HD has a HST, Shaft drive transmission; ZD1011-54 has a Kubota HST transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- GZD15-3HD has a 15 hp engine; ZD1011-54 has a 19.3 hp engine, a 4.3 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.
- GZD15-3HD has Adjustable Dual Lever Steering drive; ZD1011-54 has Shaft drive.
