What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Lazer Z E-Series (60 in) lists at $11,149; Turf Tiger II lists at $16,999 to $25,399, a $5,850 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Lazer Z E-Series (60 in) weighs 1,062 lbs (481.7 kg); Turf Tiger II weighs 1,418 lbs (643.2 kg), a 356 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Lazer Z E-Series (60 in)'s weight means for a trailer ›
- Lazer Z E-Series (60 in) has a 60 in (1,524 mm) deck; Turf Tiger II has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck, a 8 in 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 ›
- Lazer Z E-Series (60 in) holds 9.5 gal (36 L) of fuel; Turf Tiger II holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel, a 2.5 gal 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.
- Lazer Z E-Series (60 in) has a 23.5 hp engine; Turf Tiger II has a 26 hp engine, a 2.5 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.
