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.

- ZTX4 48 uses a Kohler® engine; 360Z Zero Turn Mower 2691827 uses a Briggs & Stratton® PXi Series™ 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.
- ZTX4 48 has a Hydro-Gear ZT 3100 transmission; 360Z Zero Turn Mower 2691827 has a Hydro-Gear® EZT® transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- ZTX4 48 holds 5.5 gal (20.8 L) of fuel; 360Z Zero Turn Mower 2691827 holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel, a 2.5 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.
