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.
- Dixie Chopper Zee 2 42 in (2342KW) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
- Ferris 300R Zero Turn Mower — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 2 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Zee 2 42 in (2342KW) uses a Kawasaki® FR engine; 300R Zero Turn Mower uses a Briggs & Stratton® PXi SeriesTM 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.
- Zee 2 42 in (2342KW) holds 4 gal (15.1 L) of fuel; 300R Zero Turn Mower holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel, a 1 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.
