Which is better for a small yard with a narrow gate?

The Cub Cadet CC30H. Its 30-inch deck and 18-inch turn radius fit through gates and around obstacles that the 42-inch Husqvarna TS 120 cannot handle easily.

Which mows a large lawn faster?

The Husqvarna TS 120. Its 42-inch deck and 19 hp cut a wider swath per pass, so it covers open ground faster than the 30-inch, 10.5 hp CC30H.

Is the Cub Cadet worth the extra money?

At $2,299.00 it costs more than the TS 120's recent low of $1,333.25, but you get a tighter turn radius, hydrostatic drive, 12 cutting heights and much stronger owner ratings. It is worth it if maneuverability matters; the Husqvarna is the value pick for open lawns.

Which has better owner ratings?

The Cub Cadet CC30H, at 4.2 out of 5 from 1,800 ratings, against 3.2 out of 5 from 49 ratings for the Husqvarna TS 120.

Does either one bag or mulch?

The CC30H takes a rear bagger sold separately and includes a mulch kit. Husqvarna does not state bagging or mulching for the TS 120, so confirm before buying.

Which is easier to store?

The CC30H. Its compact rear-engine design and 30-inch deck take less space than the TS 120's 42-inch lawn tractor body.
