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 220TD — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 43-inch deck; gas powered
- John Deere S130 Lawn Tractor — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TC 220TD has a Hydrostatic with Automatic Differential Lock transmission; S130 Lawn Tractor has a TLT200 hydrostatic, two-wheel drive transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- TC 220TD has a 24.5 hp engine; S130 Lawn Tractor has a 22 hp engine, a 2.5 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.
- TC 220TD has a published top speed of 6.2 mph; S130 Lawn Tractor has a published top speed of 5.5 mph, a 0.7 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- TC 220TD has a 708 cc (43.2 ci) engine; S130 Lawn Tractor has a 724 cc (44.2 ci) engine, a 16 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- TC 220TD works out to 0.86 ha/hour; S130 Lawn Tractor works out to 0.76 ha/hour, a 0.11 ha/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
