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 V548X — commercial: daily paid use and high acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- W520i lists at $1,499; V548X lists at $12,299, a $10,800 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); V548X weighs 1,140 lbs (517.1 kg), a 1,054 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; V548X has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck, a 28 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; V548X has a published top speed of 10 mph, a 6.9 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; V548X has a Steel deck.
