What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Spartan SRTXD 61 in EFI Zero Turn Mower has a Parker HTG 16cc wheel motors transmission; Z560XS has a Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Spartan SRTXD 61 in EFI Zero Turn Mower holds 36 L (9.5 gal) of fuel; Z560XS holds 45.4 L (12 gal) of fuel, a 9.4 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.
- Spartan SRTXD 61 in EFI Zero Turn Mower has a published top speed of 13 mph; Z560XS has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 1 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Spartan SRTXD 61 in EFI Zero Turn Mower lists at A$28,499; Z560XS lists at A$29,999, a A$1,500 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
