What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
  1. 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.
  2. 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 ›
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 ›
