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.
- Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a Hydrostatic transmission; F2690E 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.
- Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower runs on Gasoline; F2690E runs on Diesel. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
- Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower holds 11.5 gal (43.5 L) of fuel; F2690E holds 16.1 gal (61 L) of fuel, a 4.6 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.
- Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a 50.2 ci (822 cc) engine; F2690E has a 68.6 ci (1,124 cc) engine, a 18.4 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- Z955R EFIZTrak Zero-Turn Mower has a 30.5 hp engine; F2690E has a 25.5 hp engine, a 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.
