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 S170 Lawn Tractor — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
- Husqvarna TS 140X 48 in — prosumer: larger home properties and light acreage; 48-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 3 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- S170 Lawn Tractor has a K46 heavy-duty hydrostatic, two-wheel drive transmission; TS 140X 48 in has a Hydrostatic transmission. The transmission grade tracks duty rating and speed. Grade names are each maker's own and are not comparable across brands.
- S170 Lawn Tractor holds 2.4 gal (9.1 L) of fuel; TS 140X 48 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.
- S170 Lawn Tractor has a published top speed of 5.5 mph; TS 140X 48 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
