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.
- Cub Cadet PRO Z 754S — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 54-inch deck; gas powered
- Cub Cadet PRO X 448 — 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.
- PRO Z 754S lists at $14,699; PRO X 448 lists at $7,799, a $6,900 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- PRO Z 754S holds 14.9 gal (56.4 L) of fuel; PRO X 448 holds 5.4 gal (20.4 L) of fuel, a 9.5 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.
- PRO Z 754S uses a Kawasaki® engine; PRO X 448 uses a Kohler® 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.
- PRO Z 754S has a published top speed of 12 mph; PRO X 448 has a published top speed of 7 mph, a 5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- PRO Z 754S has a 12cc Hydro-Gear 4400 transmission; PRO X 448 has a Hydro Gear 3100 transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
