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’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- ZT7000 Zero-Turn Mower weighs 1,541 lbs (699 kg); Spartan RT-Pro weighs 1,099 lbs (498.5 kg), a 442 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What ZT7000 Zero-Turn Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
- ZT7000 Zero-Turn Mower holds 15 gal (56.8 L) of fuel; Spartan RT-Pro holds 9.5 gal (36 L) of fuel, a 5.5 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.
- ZT7000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 20 hp engine; Spartan RT-Pro has a 24 hp engine, a 4 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.
- ZT7000 Zero-Turn Mower has a published top speed of 13 mph; Spartan RT-Pro has a published top speed of 11 mph, a 2 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
