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.

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.
- Rogue uses a Kawasaki engine; ZXT 61 61G8 uses a Briggs & Stratton 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.
- Rogue has a 3 gauge / 6mm deck; ZXT 61 61G8 has a Floating-side discharge deck.
- Rogue has a 1/4" or 3-Gauge Thick Solid Steel deck; ZXT 61 61G8 has a 7 Gauge deck.
- Rogue holds 12.9 gal (49 L) of fuel; ZXT 61 61G8 holds 15.5 gal (58.7 L) of fuel, a 2.6 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.
- Rogue cuts from 2 in (50 mm) to 6 in (152 mm); ZXT 61 61G8 cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 6 in (152 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
