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.
- X-ONE has a Hydro-Gear® ZT-4400® transmission; Z960MZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- X-ONE has a 27 hp engine; Z960MZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a 31 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.
- X-ONE has a 52 ci (852 cc) engine; Z960MZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a 61 ci (999 cc) engine, a 9 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- X-ONE weighs 1,405 lbs (637.3 kg); Z960MZTrak Zero-Turn Mower weighs 1,304 lbs (591.5 kg), a 101 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What X-ONE's weight means for a trailer ›
- X-ONE holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel; Z960MZTrak Zero-Turn Mower holds 11.5 gal (43.5 L) of fuel, a 0.5 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.
