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.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in) lists at $13,799; Z460 lists at $9,799, a $4,000 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in) holds 8 gal (30.3 L) of fuel; Z460 holds 6 gal (22.7 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.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in) weighs 978 lbs (443.6 kg); Z460 weighs 823 lbs (373.3 kg), a 155 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Vertex S-Series (60 in)'s weight means for a trailer ›
- Vertex S-Series (60 in) has a published top speed of 8.5 mph; Z460 has a published top speed of 10 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.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in) cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); Z460 cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.5 in (114 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
