3. 50 in TimeCutter MX 5000 has a published top speed of 7 mph; Z248F has a published top speed of 6.5 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.
4. 50 in TimeCutter MX 5000 has a 1,270 mm (50 in) deck; Z248F has a 1,219 mm (48 in) deck, a 51 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 ›
