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 275XD 42 in — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
  • John Deere S240 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.
  1. TS 275XD 42 in has a Hydrostatic with Automatic Differential Lock transmission; S240 Lawn Tractor has a K46 heavy-duty hydrostatic, two-wheel drive transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
  2. TS 275XD 42 in runs on Petrol; S240 Lawn Tractor runs on Gasoline. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
  3. TS 275XD 42 in holds 4 gal (15.1 L) of fuel; S240 Lawn Tractor holds 2.4 gal (9.1 L) of fuel, a 1.6 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.
