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.
- Husqvarna R 316TX — residential: typical home lawns; gas powered
- Husqvarna P 524X — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- R 316TX lists at A$11,499; P 524X lists at A$25,999, a A$14,500 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- R 316TX has a published top speed of 5.6 mph; P 524X has a published top speed of 8.1 mph, a 2.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- R 316TX has a 603 cc (36.8 ci) engine; P 524X has a 726 cc (44.3 ci) engine, a 123 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
