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 140X 42 in — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
- John Deere S120 Lawn Tractor — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- TS 140X 42 in runs on Petrol; S120 Lawn Tractor runs on Gasoline. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
- TS 140X 42 in holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel; S120 Lawn Tractor holds 2.4 gal (9.1 L) of fuel, a 0.6 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 140X 42 in has a published top speed of 5.2 mph; S120 Lawn Tractor 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.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
