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 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- F2690 holds 16.1 gal (61 L) of fuel; ZD1211R-60R holds 12.9 gal (48.8 L) of fuel, a 3.2 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.
- F2690 has a published top speed of 12.4 mph; ZD1211R-60R has a published top speed of 10.6 mph, a 1.8 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- F2690 weighs 1,590 lbs (721.2 kg); ZD1211R-60R weighs 1,687 lbs (765 kg), a 97 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What F2690's weight means for a trailer ›
calculated figures
Calculated by MowerFacts
- F2690 works out to 6.0 acres/hour; ZD1211R-60R works out to 5.1 acres/hour, a 0.9 acres/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
