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.
- Z560L uses a Kawasaki engine; Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) uses a Kohler ECV740 engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- Z560L has a published top speed of 12 mph; Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) has a published top speed of 8.5 mph, a 3.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Z560L holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) holds 8 gal (30.3 L) of fuel, a 4 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.
- Z560L weighs 1,250 lbs (567 kg); Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) weighs 1,026 lbs (465.4 kg), a 224 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z560L's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z560L has a 52 ci (852.1 cc) engine; Vertex S-Series (60 in EFI) has a 45.6 ci (747 cc) engine, a 6.4 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
