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 218T — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 43-inch deck; gas powered
- Husqvarna P 524X — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TS 218T lists at A$6,599; P 524X lists at A$25,999, a A$19,400 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- TS 218T uses a Husqvarna engine; P 524X uses a Kawasaki 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.
- TS 218T has a published top speed of 6.2 mph; P 524X has a published top speed of 8.1 mph, a 1.9 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- TS 218T has a 708 cc (43.2 ci) engine; P 524X has a 726 cc (44.3 ci) engine, a 18 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
