Compare Mowers
List prices are the manufacturer’s published figures, re-checked daily; they exclude tax, freight and dealer setup.
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.
Best suited for
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 TS 120 46 in — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 46-inch deck; gas powered
- Cub Cadet XT1 LT46 — 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.
- TS 120 46 in uses a Briggs & Stratton engine; XT1 LT46 uses a Kohler® 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.
- TS 120 46 in has a Hydrostatic transmission; XT1 LT46 has a Tuff Torq® TL-200 transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- TS 120 46 in holds 2.5 gal (9.5 L) of fuel; XT1 LT46 holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel, a 0.5 gal difference. Tank size bounds how long a machine runs between stops. Consumption varies with engine, load and speed, so hours per tank are not fixed.
- TS 120 46 in has a published top speed of 5.2 mph; XT1 LT46 has a published top speed of 5.5 mph, a 0.3 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- TS 120 46 in lists at $2,699; XT1 LT46 lists at $2,599, a $100 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
