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.
- Z330MZTrak Mower with 48-in. Deck has a 10 gauge0.135 in.3.4 mm deck; Z248F has a Steel deck.
- Z330MZTrak Mower with 48-in. Deck has Side discharge discharge; Z248F has Collect/Mulch/Side discharge discharge.

- Z330MZTrak Mower with 48-in. Deck holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel; Z248F holds 3.5 gal (13.2 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.
- Z330MZTrak Mower with 48-in. Deck has a published top speed of 7 mph; Z248F has a published top speed of 6.5 mph, a 0.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
