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.

- Xcite Z350 54 in has a published top speed of 8 mph; Z530RZTrak Mower has a published top speed of 9 mph, a 1 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Xcite Z350 54 in weighs 794 lbs (360.1 kg); Z530RZTrak Mower weighs 834 lbs (378.3 kg), a 40 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Xcite Z350 54 in's weight means for a trailer ›
- Xcite Z350 54 in holds 4.3 gal (16.3 L) of fuel; Z530RZTrak Mower holds 4.5 gal (17 L) of fuel, a 0.2 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.
