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.
- Dash XD holds 2 gal (7.6 L) of fuel; MZ Magnum holds 5 gal (18.9 L) of fuel, a 3 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.
- Dash XD has a Hydro-Gear ZT-1800® transmission; MZ Magnum has a Dual Hydro Gear ZT2200 EZT Integrated Unit transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Dash XD weighs 490 lbs (222.3 kg); MZ Magnum weighs 659 lbs (299 kg), a 169 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Dash XD's weight means for a trailer ›
- Dash XD has a 18 hp engine; MZ Magnum has a 22 hp engine, a 4 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.
- Dash XD has a 36.8 ci (603 cc) engine; MZ Magnum has a 44.3 ci (726 cc) engine, a 7.5 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
