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-XDe — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 54-inch deck; gas powered
- Kubota ZG227A-54 — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 54-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Spartan SRT-XDe uses a Kawasaki engine; ZG227A-54 uses a Kubota KGZ770-E2-MA2 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.
- Spartan SRT-XDe holds 9.5 gal (36 L) of fuel; ZG227A-54 holds 7.1 gal (27 L) of fuel, a 2.4 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-XDe has a published top speed of 11 mph; ZG227A-54 has a published top speed of 9 mph, a 2 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Spartan SRT-XDe has a 25.5 hp engine; ZG227A-54 has a 27 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.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- Spartan SRT-XDe works out to 4.8 acres/hour; ZG227A-54 works out to 3.9 acres/hour, a 0.9 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.
