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 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z-STANCE 32 KAWASAKI lists at $7,599; Vertex E-Series (32 in) lists at $9,799, a $2,200 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Z-STANCE 32 KAWASAKI holds 4.5 gal (17 L) of fuel; Vertex E-Series (32 in) holds 5 gal (18.9 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.
- Z-STANCE 32 KAWASAKI has a published top speed of 7 mph; Vertex E-Series (32 in) has a published top speed of 7.5 mph, a 0.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Z-STANCE 32 KAWASAKI weighs 669 lbs (303.4 kg); Vertex E-Series (32 in) weighs 702 lbs (318.4 kg), a 33 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z-STANCE 32 KAWASAKI's weight means for a trailer ›
