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.
- Walker Walker Model H38i — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
- Cub Cadet PRO Z 960S EFI — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 60-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Walker Model H38i uses a Rehlko engine; PRO Z 960S EFI uses a Kawasaki® 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 H38i holds 9.4 gal (35.6 L) of fuel; PRO Z 960S EFI holds 14.9 gal (56.4 L) of fuel, a 5.5 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.
- Walker Model H38i has a published top speed of 10 mph; PRO Z 960S EFI has a published top speed of 14 mph, a 4 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
