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 ZTXS4 54 — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 54-inch deck; gas powered
- Husqvarna Z 275X — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 54-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- ZTXS4 54 lists at $8,099; Z 275X lists at $4,799, a $3,300 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- ZTXS4 54 uses a Kohler® engine; Z 275X uses a Kawasaki 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.
- ZTXS4 54 has a Hydro-Gear ZT 3100 transmission; Z 275X has a Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- ZTXS4 54 holds 5.5 gal (20.8 L) of fuel; Z 275X holds 3.5 gal (13.2 L) of fuel, a 2 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.
- ZTXS4 54 has a 10-gauge steel with 2-gauge reinforcement deck; Z 275X has a Steel deck.
