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.
- ZXT 52 61G8 has a 40 hp engine; ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 25.5 hp engine, a 14.5 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.
- ZXT 52 61G8 has a Hydro transmission; ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower has a HG ZT-4400 Hydrostatic Transaxles transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- ZXT 52 61G8 has a Floating-side discharge deck; ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower has a AirFX Cutting System deck.
- ZXT 52 61G8 has a 60.6 ci (993 cc) engine; ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower has a 52 ci (852 cc) engine, a 8.6 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- ZXT 52 61G8 weighs 1,491 lbs (676.3 kg); ZT6000 Zero-Turn Mower weighs 1,371 lbs (621.9 kg), a 120 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What ZXT 52 61G8's weight means for a trailer ›
