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.
- Walker Model H24d uses a Rehlko engine; ZD1021-60 uses a Diesel, liquid-cooled (3 cyl.) 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.
- Walker Model H24d weighs 997 lbs (452.2 kg); ZD1021-60 weighs 1,389 lbs (630 kg), a 392 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Walker Model H24d's weight means for a trailer ›
- Walker Model H24d holds 9.4 gal (35.6 L) of fuel; ZD1021-60 holds 6.1 gal (23.1 L) of fuel, a 3.3 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.
- Walker Model H24d has a 23.7 hp engine; ZD1021-60 has a 21.6 hp engine, a 2.1 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.
- Walker Model H24d has a 62.7 ci (1,028 cc) engine; ZD1021-60 has a 54.8 ci (898 cc) engine, a 7.9 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
