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.
  1. Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a Hydrostatic transmission; Super S has a Hydro-Gear 12cc pump with Parker TL wheel motors transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
  2. Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower holds 11.5 gal (43.5 L) of fuel; Super S holds 7.3 gal (27.6 L) of fuel, a 4.2 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.
  3. Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a published top speed of 12 mph; Super S has a published top speed of 9 mph, a 3 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
  4. Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower weighs 1,437 lbs (652 kg); Super S weighs 1,207 lbs (547.5 kg), a 230 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
  5. Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a 30.5 hp engine; Super S has a 29.5 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.
