- TTM108SH V-Twin uses a Masport engine; VSX 42 in, Small Frame Garden Tractor uses a Briggs & Stratton EX Series OHV 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.

- TTM108SH V-Twin weighs 174.5 kg (385 lbs); VSX 42 in, Small Frame Garden Tractor weighs 208 kg (459 lbs), a 33.5 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What TTM108SH V-Twin's weight means for a trailer ›
- TTM108SH V-Twin has a 19 hp engine; VSX 42 in, Small Frame Garden Tractor has a 17.5 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.
