Compare Mowers
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.
Best suited for
What each model is built for, from its duty class and key specs. This is a neutral reference — MowerFacts does not rank one model above another.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Renegade Diesel uses a Perkins Diesel engine; ZTXS6 60 uses a Kawasaki® engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- Renegade Diesel holds 13 gal (49.2 L) of fuel; ZTXS6 60 holds 5.5 gal (20.8 L) of fuel, a 7.5 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.
- Renegade Diesel has a Hydro-Gear® 16cc Pump; Parker® 18ci Wheel Motors transmission; ZTXS6 60 has a Hydro-Gear ZT 3400 Charged transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Renegade Diesel has a published top speed of 13 mph; ZTXS6 60 has a published top speed of 9 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.
- Renegade Diesel has a 1/4" or 3-Gauge Thick Solid Steel deck; ZTXS6 60 has a 10-gauge steel with 2-gauge reinforcement deck.
