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.
- HusqvarnaZ572XS weighs 1,359 lbs (616.4 kg); Z997R DieselZTrak Zero-Turn Mower weighs 2,349 lbs (1,065.5 kg), a 990 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What HusqvarnaZ572XS's weight means for a trailer ›
- HusqvarnaZ572XS has a 61 ci (999.6 cc) engine; Z997R DieselZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a 100.2 ci (1,642 cc) engine, a 39.2 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- HusqvarnaZ572XS has a published top speed of 12 mph; Z997R DieselZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a published top speed of 11.5 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.
- HusqvarnaZ572XS has a 38.5 hp engine; Z997R DieselZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a 37.4 hp engine, a 1.1 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.
