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.
Best suited for
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 Vertex S-Series (60 in) — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
- Husqvarna Z460XS — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Vertex S-Series (60 in) holds 8 gal (30.3 L) of fuel; Z460XS holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel, a 4 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) has a published top speed of 8.5 mph; Z460XS has a published top speed of 11 mph, a 2.5 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) lists at $13,799; Z460XS lists at $11,499, a $2,300 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) cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); Z460XS 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.
