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 TC 114 — residential: typical home lawns; 37-inch deck; gas powered
- Victa VSX 38 in, Small Frame Garden Tractor — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 38-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TC 114 uses a Husqvarna engine; VSX 38 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.
- TC 114 lists at A$5,999; VSX 38 in, Small Frame Garden Tractor lists at A$4,499, a A$1,500 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- TC 114 has a 452 cc (27.6 ci) engine; VSX 38 in, Small Frame Garden Tractor has a 500 cc (30.5 ci) engine, a 48 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- TC 114 has a published top speed of 5.6 mph; VSX 38 in, Small Frame Garden Tractor has a published top speed of 5.2 mph, a 0.4 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- TC 114 has a 14.8 hp engine; VSX 38 in, Small Frame Garden Tractor has a 15.5 hp engine, a 0.7 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.
