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 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-TURN 260 KAWASAKI has Hydro-Gear® ZT-5400 Transaxles drive; Z781KWTi-60 has Belt drive.
- PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 13 mph; Z781KWTi-60 has a published top speed of 11.2 mph, a 1.8 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 has a 61 ci (999 cc) engine; Z781KWTi-60 has a 52 ci (852 cc) engine, a 9 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- PRO-TURN 260 KAWASAKI holds 13.4 gal (50.7 L) of fuel; Z781KWTi-60 holds 11.6 gal (43.9 L) of fuel, a 1.8 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-TURN 260 KAWASAKI cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm); Z781KWTi-60 cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
