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.

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.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TS 222TDF has a Hydrostatic with Automatic Differential Lock transmission; X730 Signature Series Lawn Tractor has a K90 hydrostatic integrated with transaxle transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- TS 222TDF runs on Petrol; X730 Signature Series Lawn Tractor runs on Gasoline. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
- TS 222TDF has a published top speed of 6.2 mph; X730 Signature Series Lawn Tractor has a published top speed of 8.5 mph, a 2.3 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- TS 222TDF has a 26.3 hp engine; X730 Signature Series Lawn Tractor has a 25.5 hp engine, a 0.8 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 222TDF has a 764 cc (46.6 ci) engine; X730 Signature Series Lawn Tractor has a 745 cc (45.5 ci) engine, a 19 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
- TS 222TDF works out to 0.98 ha/hour; X730 Signature Series Lawn Tractor works out to 1.33 ha/hour, a 0.36 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.
