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 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck; PRO-STANCE 36 KAWASAKI has a 36 in (914 mm) deck, a 12 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 ›
- PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has Hydro-Gear® ZT-3400 Transaxles drive; PRO-STANCE 36 KAWASAKI has Hydro-Gear® ZT-3100® Transaxles drive.
- PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI holds 9 gal (34.1 L) of fuel; PRO-STANCE 36 KAWASAKI holds 6 gal (22.7 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.
- PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has a 23.5 hp engine; PRO-STANCE 36 KAWASAKI has a 18.5 hp engine, a 5 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.
- PRO-STANCE 48 KAWASAKI has a 44.3 ci (725.9 cc) engine; PRO-STANCE 36 KAWASAKI has a 36.8 ci (603 cc) engine, a 7.5 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.

Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
