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.
- ZG327-60 uses a Kubota KGZ770-E2-MA1 engine; F2890 uses a Kubota D1105 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.
- ZG327-60 has a Integral Type HST, Shaft Driven transmission; F2890 has a HST transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- ZG327-60 runs on Petrol; F2890 runs on Diesel. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
- ZG327-60 has Adjustable Dual Lever Steering drive; F2890 has 4WD drive.
- ZG327-60 has a 768 cc (46.9 ci) engine; F2890 has a 1,123 cc (68.5 ci) engine, a 355 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
