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.

- ZTXS4 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.
