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.
- Spartan Spartan SRT-XD — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 61-inch deck; gas powered
- Husqvarna Z560XS — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Spartan SRT-XD holds 9.5 gal (36 L) of fuel; Z560XS holds 12 gal (45.4 L) of fuel, a 2.5 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.
- Spartan SRT-XD lists at $15,299; Z560XS lists at $17,599, a $2,300 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Spartan SRT-XD cuts from 1.5 in (38 mm) to 4.8 in (121 mm); Z560XS cuts from 1 in (25 mm) to 5 in (127 mm). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- Spartan SRT-XD has a published top speed of 13 mph; Z560XS has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 1 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
- Spartan SRT-XD works out to 6.4 acres/hour; Z560XS works out to 5.8 acres/hour, a 0.6 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.
