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 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z448 weighs 725 lbs (328.9 kg); V548X weighs 1,140 lbs (517.1 kg), a 415 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z448's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z448 has a Hydrostatic transmission; V548X has a Pump/Wheel motor transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Z448 lists at $8,899; V548X lists at $12,299, a $3,400 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Z448 has a 22 hp engine; V548X has a 24.5 hp engine, a 2.5 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.
- Z448 has a 44.3 ci (725.9 cc) engine; V548X has a 52 ci (852.1 cc) engine, a 7.7 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
