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 Z 245i — residential: typical home lawns; 42-inch deck
- Cox 400 Series 442-D 42 in — residential: typical home lawns; 42-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z 245i lists at A$14,599; 400 Series 442-D 42 in lists at A$8,999, a A$5,600 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Z 245i weighs 246.5 kg (543 lbs); 400 Series 442-D 42 in weighs 277 kg (611 lbs), a 30.5 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Z 245i's weight means for a trailer ›
- Z 245i has a published top speed of 7 mph; 400 Series 442-D 42 in has a published top speed of 7.5 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.
