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.
- Bobcat ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
- Gravely Z-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower has a published top speed of 8 mph; Z-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 7 mph, a 1 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower holds 3.8 gal (14.4 L) of fuel; Z-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI holds 4.5 gal (17 L) of fuel, a 0.7 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.
- ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 20 hp engine; Z-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has a 22 hp engine, a 2 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.
- ZT3000 Zero-Turn Mower cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.8 in (121 mm); Z-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
