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. TTM98SM lists at A$3,799; Stockman PLUS 40 in lists at A$6,199, a A$2,400 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
  2. TTM98SM has a 12 hp engine; Stockman PLUS 40 in has a 18 hp engine, a 6 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.
  3. TTM98SM has a 5-Speed manual transmission; Stockman PLUS 40 in has a Hydrostatic with Auto Locking Diff transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
  4. TTM98SM has a published top speed of 4.7 mph; Stockman PLUS 40 in has a published top speed of 5.6 mph, a 0.9 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
  5. TTM98SM weighs 169.5 kg (374 lbs); Stockman PLUS 40 in weighs 189 kg (417 lbs), a 19.5 kg difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What TTM98SM's weight means for a trailer ›
