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.
- T2290KWTNC-48 uses a Kawasaki FR651V engine; GR2120 uses a Kubota D782 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.
- T2290KWTNC-48 has a hydrostatic transmission; GR2120 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.
- T2290KWTNC-48 weighs 661 lbs (299.8 kg); GR2120 weighs 968 lbs (439 kg), a 307 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What T2290KWTNC-48's weight means for a trailer ›
- T2290KWTNC-48 runs on Gasoline; GR2120 runs on Diesel. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
- T2290KWTNC-48 holds 3.6 gal (13.6 L) of fuel; GR2120 holds 4.8 gal (18 L) of fuel, a 1.2 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.

- Cut height range: not published for GR2120.
