[hippiehawk]

looked at these last night at a small local dealer...contemplating between the 48"SD $5799 kaw23hp vs 52"Mini $6499 kaw19hp...trying to figure out if the price difference in machines is worth it....any help would be appreciated....thanks

For the price differences you have there, I would go with the Mini Z.

Get the Mini Z. I love this machine.

Please hustler, bring this back with 48 and 54 XR7 decks....

I have a Mini Z 19/52. It looks to me that the super duty is a better deal. What does the Mini have over the SD. Are the engines still commercial engines.

Engines are commercial Kawasaki's on both.
The drive system is the major difference in your mower, it has 2 pumps and 2 wheel motors.
The FasTrak SD has 2 integrated hydros.
