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.
- 360Z Zero Turn Mower 2691651 uses a Briggs & Stratton®PXi Series™ engine; IKON 42 KAWASAKI uses a Kawasaki® FR651V 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.
- 360Z Zero Turn Mower 2691651 has a Hydro-Gear® EZT® transmission; IKON 42 KAWASAKI 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.
- 360Z Zero Turn Mower 2691651 has 2 blades; IKON 42 KAWASAKI has 3 blades.
- 360Z Zero Turn Mower 2691651 holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel; IKON 42 KAWASAKI holds 3.5 gal (13.2 L) of fuel, a 0.5 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.
- 360Z Zero Turn Mower 2691651 has a 23 hp engine; IKON 42 KAWASAKI has a 21.5 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.
