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.

What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Quest E-Series (50 in) holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel; MZ Magnum 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.
- Quest E-Series (50 in) has a published top speed of 7 mph; MZ Magnum has a published top speed of 6 mph, a 1 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Quest E-Series (50 in) weighs 576 lbs (261.3 kg); MZ Magnum weighs 659 lbs (299 kg), a 83 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Quest E-Series (50 in)'s weight means for a trailer ›
- Quest E-Series (50 in) has a 50 in (1,270 mm) deck; MZ Magnum has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck, a 2 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 ›
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- Quest E-Series (50 in) works out to 2.8 acres/hour; MZ Magnum works out to 2.3 acres/hour, a 0.5 acres/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
