Compare Mowers
Prices are the recommended retail prices published by each manufacturer’s Australian site, in AUD, as read on the date shown on each model’s page; dealers set the final price.
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.
Best suited for
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.
- Honda HRN536 — residential: typical home lawns; 21-inch deck; gas powered
- Kubota W821S — residential: typical home lawns; 21-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- HRN536 holds 0.9 L (0.2 gal) of fuel; W821S holds 1.8 L (0.5 gal) of fuel, a 0.9 L difference. Tank size bounds how long a machine runs between stops. Consumption varies with engine, load and speed, so hours per tank are not fixed.
- HRN536 weighs 40 kg (88 lbs); W821S weighs 53 kg (117 lbs), a 13 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What HRN536's weight means for a trailer ›
- HRN536 cuts from 27 mm (1.1 in) to 100 mm (3.9 in); W821S cuts from 15 mm (0.6 in) to 77 mm (3 in). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
- HRN536 has a 66 L (1.9 bu) bagger; W821S has a 75 L (2.1 bu) bagger, a 9 L difference.
