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.

- Kubota F2690 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- ZD1211RL−72R has a 72 in (1,829 mm) deck; F2690 has a 60 in (1,524 mm) deck, a 12 in difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- ZD1211RL−72R holds 12.9 gal (48.8 L) of fuel; F2690 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.
- ZD1211RL−72R has a published top speed of 10.6 mph; F2690 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.
- ZD1211RL−72R weighs 1,775 lbs (805 kg); F2690 weighs 1,590 lbs (721.2 kg), a 185 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What ZD1211RL−72R's weight means for a trailer ›
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.
