Compare Mowers

1. TS 275XD 42 in uses a Kawasaki engine; TS 120 46 in uses a Briggs & Stratton 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.
2. TS 275XD 42 in lists at $3,999; TS 120 46 in lists at $2,699, a $1,300 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
3. TS 275XD 42 in holds 4 gal (15.1 L) of fuel; TS 120 46 in holds 2.5 gal (9.5 L) of fuel, a 1.5 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.
4. TS 275XD 42 in has a 42 in (1,067 mm) deck; TS 120 46 in has a 46 in (1,168 mm) deck, a 4 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 ›
5. TS 275XD 42 in has a published top speed of 5.5 mph; TS 120 46 in has a published top speed of 5.2 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.

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.
