What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI has a 31 hp engine; COMPACT-PRO 34 KAWASAKI has a 15.5 hp engine, a 15.5 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-TURN 260 KAWASAKI has a 60 in (1,524 mm) deck; COMPACT-PRO 34 KAWASAKI has a 34 in (864 mm) deck, a 26 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-TURN 260 KAWASAKI weighs 1,336 lbs (606 kg); COMPACT-PRO 34 KAWASAKI weighs 737 lbs (334.3 kg), a 599 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI's weight means for a trailer ›
- PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 13 mph; COMPACT-PRO 34 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 7 mph, a 6 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 260 KAWASAKI lists at $12,499; COMPACT-PRO 34 KAWASAKI lists at $8,099, a $4,400 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
