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.
Best suited for
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.
- Kubota GZD15-3HD — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage
- Toro 36 in GrandStand — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 36-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- GZD15-3HD has a 10,670 mm (420.1 in) deck; 36 in GrandStand has a 914 mm (36 in) deck, a 9,756 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 cuts from 102 mm (4 in) to 127 mm (5 in); 36 in GrandStand cuts from 38 mm (1.5 in) to 127 mm (5 in). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- GZD15-3HD holds 19 L (5 gal) of fuel; 36 in GrandStand holds 29.5 L (7.8 gal) of fuel, a 10.5 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.
- GZD15-3HD has a published top speed of 8.4 mph; 36 in GrandStand has a published top speed of 8 mph, a 0.4 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
