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.

What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Exmark Quest S-Series Mower lists at $4,699; MZ 54 Special Edition lists at $6,499, a $1,800 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Exmark Quest S-Series Mower holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel; MZ 54 Special Edition holds 5 gal (18.9 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.
- Exmark Quest S-Series Mower weighs 616 lbs (279.4 kg); MZ 54 Special Edition weighs 740 lbs (335.7 kg), a 124 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Exmark Quest S-Series Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
- Exmark Quest S-Series Mower has a published top speed of 7 mph; MZ 54 Special Edition has a published top speed of 8.5 mph, a 1.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
