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.

- Z720EZTrak Zero Turn Mower holds 8 gal (30.2 L) of fuel; Z248F holds 3.5 gal (13.2 L) of fuel, a 4.5 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.
- Z720EZTrak Zero Turn Mower weighs 950 lbs (430.9 kg); Z248F weighs 595 lbs (269.9 kg), a 355 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z720EZTrak Zero Turn Mower's weight means for a trailer ›

- Z720EZTrak Zero Turn Mower has a published top speed of 8 mph; Z248F has a published top speed of 6.5 mph, a 1.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Z720EZTrak Zero Turn Mower cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); Z248F cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4 in (102 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
