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.
Best suited for
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.
- Z735EZTrak Zero Turn Mower has V-belt drive; Z422KWTNC-60 has Belt drive.
- Z735EZTrak Zero Turn Mower has a published top speed of 8 mph; Z422KWTNC-60 has a published top speed of 10 mph, a 2 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Z735EZTrak Zero Turn Mower holds 8 gal (30.2 L) of fuel; Z422KWTNC-60 holds 6.8 gal (25.7 L) of fuel, a 1.2 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.
- Z735EZTrak Zero Turn Mower has a 49.4 ci (810 cc) engine; Z422KWTNC-60 has a 44.3 ci (726 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.
- Z735EZTrak Zero Turn Mower has a 25 hp engine; Z422KWTNC-60 has a 24 hp engine, a 1 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.
