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 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- PRO-TURN ZX 52 KAWASAKI holds 5.1 gal (19.3 L) of fuel; Patriot holds 6.5 gal (24.6 L) of fuel, a 1.4 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 ZX 52 KAWASAKI lists at $9,899; Patriot lists at $8,599 to $10,559, a $1,300 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- PRO-TURN ZX 52 KAWASAKI has a 23.5 hp engine; Patriot has a 22 hp engine, a 1.5 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 ZX 52 KAWASAKI weighs 958 lbs (434.5 kg); Patriot weighs 911 lbs (413.2 kg), a 47 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What PRO-TURN ZX 52 KAWASAKI's weight means for a trailer ›
