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 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.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Z554L has a 27 hp engine; HusqvarnaZ572XS has a 38.5 hp engine, a 11.5 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.
- Z554L has a 54 in (1,372 mm) deck; HusqvarnaZ572XS has a 72 in (1,829 mm) deck, a 18 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 ›
- Z554L lists at $13,999; HusqvarnaZ572XS lists at $18,399, a $4,400 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Z554L has Collect/Mulch/Side discharge discharge; HusqvarnaZ572XS has Mulching/Side discharge discharge.
- Z554L has a 52 ci (852.1 cc) engine; HusqvarnaZ572XS has a 61 ci (999.6 cc) engine, a 9 ci difference. Displacement is the engine's size, not its output. A larger engine is not necessarily a more powerful one.
