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.
- John Deere S120 Lawn Tractor — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 42-inch deck; gas powered
- Husqvarna TS 140X 42 in — 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.
- S120 Lawn Tractor runs on Gasoline; TS 140X 42 in runs on Petrol. Fuel type sets what you buy and store; it is not a measure of power.
- S120 Lawn Tractor holds 2.4 gal (9.1 L) of fuel; TS 140X 42 in holds 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel, a 0.6 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.
- S120 Lawn Tractor has a published top speed of 5.5 mph; TS 140X 42 in has a published top speed of 5.2 mph, a 0.3 mph difference. Top speed is the maker's maximum in transport. Mowing speed is lower and depends on grass, terrain and the deck.
calculated figures and what isn’t comparable
Calculated by MowerFacts
- S120 Lawn Tractor works out to 1.9 acres/hour; TS 140X 42 in works out to 1.8 acres/hour, a 0.1 acres/hour difference. Calculated by MowerFacts from deck width and the published top speed at 80% efficiency; it is not a manufacturer figure, and real mowing is slower.
