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.
- Super S uses a Kawasaki FX850, FX850 EFI engine; ZG227LA-60 uses a Kubota KGZ770-E2-MA2 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.
- Super S has a Hydro-Gear 12cc pump with Parker TL wheel motors transmission; ZG227LA-60 has a Kubota HST transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Super S has a 29.5 hp engine; ZG227LA-60 has a 26 hp engine, a 3.5 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.
- Super S has a 52 ci (852 cc) engine; ZG227LA-60 has a 46.9 ci (768 cc) engine, a 5.1 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- Super S weighs 1,207 lbs (547.5 kg); ZG227LA-60 weighs 1,235 lbs (560.2 kg), a 28 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Super S's weight means for a trailer ›
