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.
- Z724XKWNC-54 holds 11.6 gal (43.9 L) of fuel; MZ 54 ROPS Special Edition holds 5 gal (18.9 L) of fuel, a 6.6 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.
- Z724XKWNC-54 has a Parker HTG14 transmission; MZ 54 ROPS Special Edition 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.
- Z724XKWNC-54 weighs 1,195 lbs (542 kg); MZ 54 ROPS Special Edition weighs 810 lbs (367.4 kg), a 385 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z724XKWNC-54's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z724XKWNC-54 has a published top speed of 11.2 mph; MZ 54 ROPS Special Edition has a published top speed of 8.5 mph, a 2.7 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Z724XKWNC-54 cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5 in (127 mm); MZ 54 ROPS Special Edition cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.5 in (114 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
