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 TS 120 42 in — residential: typical home lawns; 42-inch deck; gas powered
What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Bronco 42 Riding Lawn Mower uses a Troy-Bilt® engine; TS 120 42 in uses a Briggs & Stratton engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- Bronco 42 Riding Lawn Mower has a Troy-Bilt transmission; TS 120 42 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.
- Bronco 42 Riding Lawn Mower holds 1.4 gal (5.2 L) of fuel; TS 120 42 in holds 2.5 gal (9.5 L) of fuel, a 1.1 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.
- Bronco 42 Riding Lawn Mower lists at $2,199; TS 120 42 in lists at $2,499, a $300 difference. List price is the maker's own figure before tax, freight and dealer setup. Dealers set the final price.
- Bronco 42 Riding Lawn Mower has a published top speed of 5.5 mph; TS 120 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.
