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 Z422KWTNC-60 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
- Hustler Turf Raptor XD — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z422KWTNC-60 uses a Kawasaki FS730V engine; Raptor XD uses a Kawasaki FR730 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.
- Z422KWTNC-60 holds 6.8 gal (25.7 L) of fuel; Raptor XD holds 3.5 gal (13.2 L) of fuel, a 3.3 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.
- Z422KWTNC-60 has a Hydro-Gear Commercial ZT-3600 transmission; Raptor XD has a Tuff Torq TZ350 transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- Z422KWTNC-60 weighs 954 lbs (432.7 kg); Raptor XD weighs 681 lbs (308.9 kg), a 273 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z422KWTNC-60's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z422KWTNC-60 has a published top speed of 10 mph; Raptor XD has a published top speed of 7.5 mph, a 2.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
