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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Maverick HD has a Dual Hydro Gear 3400 transmission; Z751KWi-48 has a Parker HTG14 transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Maverick HD has a 3/16" or 7-Gauge Thick Solid Steel deck; Z751KWi-48 has a steel deck.
- Maverick HD has a published top speed of 9 mph; Z751KWi-48 has a published top speed of 11.2 mph, a 2.2 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Maverick HD cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.5 in (114 mm); Z751KWi-48 cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5 in (127 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Maverick HD weighs 1,023 lbs (464 kg); Z751KWi-48 weighs 1,215 lbs (551.1 kg), a 192 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Maverick HD's weight means for a trailer ›
