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.
- Husqvarna Z 245i — residential: typical home lawns; 42-inch deck
- Husqvarna Z146 — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 46-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z 245i lists at A$14,599; Z146 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 has a ClearCut™ - Fabricated deck; Z146 has a Stamped, Reinforced deck.
- Z 245i has a 1,070 mm (42.1 in) deck; Z146 has a 1,168 mm (46 in) deck, a 98 mm difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- Z 245i has a published top speed of 7 mph; Z146 has a published top speed of 6.5 mph, a 0.5 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- Z 245i weighs 246.5 kg (543 lbs); Z146 weighs 263 kg (580 lbs), a 16.5 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 ›
