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 TS 216 Tm — residential: typical home lawns; 43-inch deck; gas powered
- John Deere S100 Lawn Tractor — residential: typical home lawns; 42-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TS 216 Tm runs on Petrol; S100 Lawn Tractor runs on Gasoline. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
- TS 216 Tm has a 21.5 hp engine; S100 Lawn Tractor has a 17.5 hp engine, a 4 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.
- TS 216 Tm has a 635 cc (38.8 ci) engine; S100 Lawn Tractor has a 500 cc (30.5 ci) engine, a 135 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- TS 216 Tm has a published top speed of 6.2 mph; S100 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.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- TS 216 Tm works out to 0.86 ha/hour; S100 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.
