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 ZT3500 Zero-Turn Mower — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
- Wright Stander B 48 FS651E — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- ZT3500 Zero-Turn Mower has a HG ZT-3400 Hydrostatic Transaxles transmission; Stander B 48 FS651E has a Hydro transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- ZT3500 Zero-Turn Mower has a published top speed of 10 mph; Stander B 48 FS651E has a published top speed of 7 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.
- ZT3500 Zero-Turn Mower holds 7.8 gal (29.5 L) of fuel; Stander B 48 FS651E holds 5 gal (18.9 L) of fuel, a 2.8 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.
- ZT3500 Zero-Turn Mower cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.9 in (124 mm); Stander B 48 FS651E cuts from 2 in (51 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.
- ZT3500 Zero-Turn Mower has a 21.5 hp engine; Stander B 48 FS651E 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.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
