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.

  • Kubota SZ26NC-61-2 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 61-inch deck; gas powered
  • Altoz XE 610 SS — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 61-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
  1. SZ26NC-61-2 has a Hydro-Gear ZT3600 transmission; XE 610 SS has a Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
  2. SZ26NC-61-2 holds 6.5 gal (24.6 L) of fuel; XE 610 SS holds 10 gal (37.9 L) of fuel, a 3.5 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. SZ26NC-61-2 has a published top speed of 11 mph; XE 610 SS has a published top speed of 9 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.
  4. SZ26NC-61-2 has a 26 hp engine; XE 610 SS has a 24 hp engine, a 2 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.
  5. SZ26NC-61-2 weighs 1,034 lbs (469.1 kg); XE 610 SS weighs 970 lbs (440 kg), a 64 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What SZ26NC-61-2's weight means for a trailer ›
