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 ZD1611 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck
- Cub Cadet PRO Z 760L — 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.
- ZD1611 uses a Kubota V1505-CR-TE5-ZD1 engine; PRO Z 760L uses a Kawasaki® 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.
- ZD1611 has a Kubota HST transmission; PRO Z 760L has a 12cc Hydro-Gear 4400 transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- ZD1611 holds 13 gal (49.2 L) of fuel; PRO Z 760L holds 7.4 gal (28.2 L) of fuel, a 5.6 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.
- ZD1611 has a 91.4 ci (1,498 cc) engine; PRO Z 760L has a 61 ci (999 cc) engine, a 30.5 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- ZD1611 has a published top speed of 10.6 mph; PRO Z 760L has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 1.4 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
Calculated by MowerFacts
- ZD1611 works out to 5.1 acres/hour; PRO Z 760L works out to 5.8 acres/hour, a 0.7 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.
