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 54 in — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 54-inch deck; gas powered
- Husqvarna TS 120 42 in — residential: typical home lawns; 42-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TS 120 54 in has a 54 in (1,372 mm) deck; TS 120 42 in has a 42 in (1,067 mm) deck, a 12 in 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 ›
- TS 120 54 in has a 24 hp engine; TS 120 42 in has a 19 hp engine, a 5 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.
- TS 120 54 in has a 44 ci (721 cc) engine; TS 120 42 in has a 33 ci (540.8 cc) engine, a 11 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
- TS 120 54 in lists at $2,899; TS 120 42 in lists at $2,499, a $400 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
calculated figures
Calculated by MowerFacts
- TS 120 54 in works out to 2.3 acres/hour; TS 120 42 in works out to 1.8 acres/hour, a 0.5 acres/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.
