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.
- Grasshopper 225 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
- Kubota Z411KWNC-48 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 225 uses a Rehlko engine; Z411KWNC-48 uses a Kawasaki FS651V engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- 225 has a G2 Hydrostatic Transmission transmission; Z411KWNC-48 has a Hydro-Gear Commercial ZT-3600 transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- 225 holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; Z411KWNC-48 holds 6.8 gal (25.7 L) of fuel, a 5.2 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.
- 225 has a 45.6 ci (747 cc) engine; Z411KWNC-48 has a 44.3 ci (726 cc) engine, a 1.3 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
