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.
- ZT2000 Zero-Turn Mower has a HG ZT-2800 Hydrostatic Transaxles transmission; Z448 has a Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- ZT2000 Zero-Turn Mower has a published top speed of 7 mph; Z448 has a published top speed of 10 mph, a 3 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- ZT2000 Zero-Turn Mower holds 3.8 gal (14.4 L) of fuel; Z448 holds 6 gal (22.7 L) of fuel, a 2.2 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.
- ZT2000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 42 in (1,067 mm) deck; Z448 has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck, a 6 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 ›
- ZT2000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 21.5 hp engine; Z448 has a 22 hp engine, a 0.5 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.
