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 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Lazer Z Diesel (LZS 96 in 88C) has a 100.2 ci (1,642 cc) engine; Super 104 has a 60.6 ci (993 cc) engine, a 39.6 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- Lazer Z Diesel (LZS 96 in 88C) holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; Super 104 holds 15 gal (56.8 L) of fuel, a 3 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.
- Lazer Z Diesel (LZS 96 in 88C) has a published top speed of 12.5 mph; Super 104 has a published top speed of 11 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.
- Lazer Z Diesel (LZS 96 in 88C) has a 96 in (2,438 mm) deck; Super 104 has a 104 in (2,642 mm) deck, a 8 in difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- Lazer Z Diesel (LZS 96 in 88C) has a 37 hp engine; Super 104 has a 40 hp engine, a 3 hp difference. Published horsepower is the maker's rating at a stated engine speed. It is a different measure from displacement, and two engines of equal rating can pull differently.
