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 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.
- Exmark Exmark Quest S-Series Mower — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 54-inch deck
- Husqvarna Z254FX — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 54-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Exmark Quest S-Series Mower holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel; Z254FX holds 3.5 gal (13.2 L) of fuel, a 0.5 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.
- Exmark Quest S-Series Mower cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.5 in (114 mm); Z254FX cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4 in (102 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Exmark Quest S-Series Mower has a published top speed of 7 mph; Z254FX has a published top speed of 6.5 mph, a 0.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Exmark Quest S-Series Mower weighs 616 lbs (279.4 kg); Z254FX weighs 643 lbs (291.7 kg), a 27 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 ›
