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.
  1. Lawn Marshal lists at A$399; 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower lists at A$3,949, a A$3,550 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
  2. Lawn Marshal weighs 23.8 kg (52 lbs); 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower weighs 83 kg (183 lbs), a 59.2 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Lawn Marshal's weight means for a trailer ›
  3. Lawn Marshal uses a AL-KO engine; 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower uses a Briggs & Stratton 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.
  4. Lawn Marshal cuts from 13 mm (0.5 in) to 68 mm (2.7 in); 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower cuts from 6 mm (0.2 in) to 30 mm (1.2 in). The cut-height range is the shortest and tallest cut the deck offers. Most lawns are kept well inside it.
  5. Lawn Marshal has a 420 mm (16.5 in) deck; 17 in LawnMaster Cylinder Mower has a 432 mm (17 in) deck, a 12 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 ›
