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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- 486 3'n1 uses a Briggs & Stratton engine; 100 ST 2'n1 uses a Masport 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.
- 486 3'n1 has Cut, Catch, Mulch, Side Discharge discharge; 100 ST 2'n1 has Catch, Rear Discharge discharge.
- 486 3'n1 has ReadyStart start; 100 ST 2'n1 has Auto Choke start.
- 486 3'n1 has a 140 cc (8.5 ci) engine; 100 ST 2'n1 has a 123 cc (7.5 ci) engine, a 17 cc difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- 486 3'n1 has a 42 L (1.2 bu) bagger; 100 ST 2'n1 has a 50 L (1.4 bu) bagger, a 8 L difference.
