What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower lists at A$3,949; Lawn Marshal lists at A$399, a A$3,550 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower weighs 83 kg (183 lbs); Lawn Marshal weighs 23.8 kg (52 lbs), a 59.2 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower's weight means for a trailer ›
- 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower uses a Briggs & Stratton engine; Lawn Marshal uses a AL-KO 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.
- 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower cuts from 6 mm (0.2 in) to 30 mm (1.2 in); Lawn Marshal cuts from 13 mm (0.5 in) to 68 mm (2.7 in). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower has a 432 mm (17 in) deck; Lawn Marshal has a 420 mm (16.5 in) deck, a 12 mm difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
