What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TTM98SM has a 12 hp engine; TTM108SH V-Twin has a 19 hp engine, a 7 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.
- TTM98SM has a 5-Speed manual transmission; TTM108SH V-Twin has a Rear - Hydrostatic Tuff Torq K46DR transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- TTM98SM lists at A$3,799; TTM108SH V-Twin lists at A$4,899, a A$1,100 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- TTM98SM has a published top speed of 4.7 mph; TTM108SH V-Twin has a published top speed of 5.5 mph, a 0.8 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- TTM98SM has a 980 mm (38.6 in) deck; TTM108SH V-Twin has a 1,080 mm (42.5 in) deck, a 100 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 ›

Calculated by MowerFacts
- TTM98SM works out to 0.59 ha/hour; TTM108SH V-Twin works out to 0.76 ha/hour, a 0.17 ha/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
Verified means each manufacturer publishes the figure. A bigger number is only a bigger number; nothing here says which machine is better. The full specification table is below.
