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.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- W520 lists at $1,499; HusqvarnaZ572XS lists at $18,399, a $16,900 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- W520 has a 4.6 hp engine; HusqvarnaZ572XS has a 38.5 hp engine, a 33.9 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.
- W520 weighs 112 lbs (50.8 kg); HusqvarnaZ572XS weighs 1,359 lbs (616.4 kg), a 1,247 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What W520's weight means for a trailer ›
- W520 has a 20 in (508 mm) deck; HusqvarnaZ572XS has a 72 in (1,829 mm) deck, a 52 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 ›
- W520 has a published top speed of 3.7 mph; HusqvarnaZ572XS has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 8.3 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
