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 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- SZ22NC-48-2 holds 6.5 gal (24.6 L) of fuel; F2690 holds 16.1 gal (61 L) of fuel, a 9.6 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.
- SZ22NC-48-2 uses a Kawasaki FX691V engine; F2690 uses a Kubota D1105 engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- SZ22NC-48-2 weighs 965 lbs (437.7 kg); F2690 weighs 1,590 lbs (721.2 kg), a 625 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What SZ22NC-48-2's weight means for a trailer ›
- SZ22NC-48-2 has a Hydro-Gear ZT-3600 transmission; F2690 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.
- SZ22NC-48-2 runs on Gasoline; F2690 runs on Diesel. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
