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 W520i — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 20-inch deck; battery (no fuel or engine maintenance)
- Husqvarna HusqvarnaZ572XS — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 72-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- W520i 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.
- W520i weighs 86 lbs (39 kg); HusqvarnaZ572XS weighs 1,359 lbs (616.4 kg), a 1,273 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What W520i's weight means for a trailer ›
- W520i 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 ›
- W520i has a published top speed of 3.1 mph; HusqvarnaZ572XS has a published top speed of 12 mph, a 8.9 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
- W520i has a Aluminium deck; HusqvarnaZ572XS has a Steel deck.
