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 F2510E — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- ZD1211-60 holds 12.9 gal (48.8 L) of fuel; F2510E holds 16.1 gal (61 L) of fuel, a 3.2 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.
- ZD1211-60 has a published top speed of 10.6 mph; F2510E has a published top speed of 12.4 mph, a 1.8 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- ZD1211-60 has a 24.8 hp engine; F2510E has a 23.3 hp engine, a 1.5 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.
calculated figures
Calculated by MowerFacts
- ZD1211-60 works out to 5.1 acres/hour; F2510E works out to 6.0 acres/hour, a 0.9 acres/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
