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’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- RC Low-Profile Mower has a published top speed of 3 mph; ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 9 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- RC Low-Profile Mower cuts from 3.5 in (89 mm) to 11.5 in (292 mm); ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5.5 in (140 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- RC Low-Profile Mower weighs 2,400 lbs (1,088.6 kg); ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower weighs 1,371 lbs (621.9 kg), a 1,029 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What RC Low-Profile Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
- RC Low-Profile Mower has a 27 hp engine; ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 25.5 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.
