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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI has Hydro-Gear® ZT-3400 Transaxles drive; Tiger Cat II has Dual Pump and Motor drive.
- PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 10 mph; Tiger Cat II has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 2 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI lists at $10,599; Tiger Cat II lists at $11,729 to $14,349, a $1,130 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI weighs 1,062 lbs (481.7 kg); Tiger Cat II weighs 1,175 lbs (533 kg), a 113 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI's weight means for a trailer ›
- PRO-TURN 148 KAWASAKI holds 10 gal (37.9 L) of fuel; Tiger Cat II holds 9.5 gal (36 L) of fuel, a 0.5 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.
