Compare Mowers
These mowers are in different classes — showing only attributes they share.
List prices are the manufacturer’s published figures, re-checked daily; they exclude tax, freight and dealer setup.
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.
- Rebel X has a 38.5 hp engine; ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 20 hp engine, a 18.5 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.
- Rebel X holds 13 gal (49.2 L) of fuel; ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower holds 3.8 gal (14.4 L) of fuel, a 9.2 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.
- Rebel X weighs 1,494 lbs (677.7 kg); ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower weighs 758 lbs (343.8 kg), a 736 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Rebel X's weight means for a trailer ›
- Rebel X has a 5400 Hydro-Gear® 16cc Integrated Transaxle transmission; ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower has a HG ZT-3100 Hydrostatic Transaxles transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Rebel X has a published top speed of 12 mph; ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower has a published top speed of 8 mph, a 4 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.

Calculated by MowerFacts
- Rebel X works out to 5.9 acres/hour; ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower works out to 3.1 acres/hour, a 2.8 acres/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
