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.
- MZ54 ROPS lists at $6,399; Exmark Quest S-Series Mower lists at $4,699, a $1,700 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- MZ54 ROPS holds 5 gal (18.9 L) of fuel; Exmark Quest S-Series Mower holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel, a 2 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.
- MZ54 ROPS weighs 810 lbs (367.4 kg); Exmark Quest S-Series Mower weighs 616 lbs (279.4 kg), a 194 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What MZ54 ROPS's weight means for a trailer ›
- MZ54 ROPS has a published top speed of 8.5 mph; Exmark Quest S-Series Mower has a published top speed of 7 mph, a 1.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
