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.
- Renegade Diesel weighs 1,862 lbs (844.6 kg); ZT5000 Zero-Turn Mower weighs 995 lbs (451.3 kg), a 867 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Renegade Diesel's weight means for a trailer ›
- Renegade Diesel has a Hydro-Gear® 16cc Pump; Parker® 18ci Wheel Motors transmission; ZT5000 Zero-Turn Mower has a Hydro Gear ZT-3800 Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Renegade Diesel holds 13 gal (49.2 L) of fuel; ZT5000 Zero-Turn Mower holds 7.8 gal (29.5 L) of fuel, a 5.2 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.
- Renegade Diesel has a 67.1 ci (1,100 cc) engine; ZT5000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 44 ci (721 cc) engine, a 23.1 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- Renegade Diesel has a 61 in (1,549 mm) deck; ZT5000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 52 in (1,321 mm) deck, a 9 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 ›

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.
