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

The Toro 75748. Its 42 in deck fits through standard gates and its zero-turn radius works around beds and trees. The Husqvarna's 54 in deck is too wide for many gates.

Which mows faster on open lawn?

The Husqvarna Z254F. Its 54 in deck cuts 12 in more per pass than the Toro's 42 in, which matters more than the Toro's slightly higher 7 mph top speed.

Is the Husqvarna worth $500 more?

Yes if you have an acre or more of open lawn. You get a wider fabricated deck and a larger Kawasaki engine. For a smaller, cluttered yard the Toro does the job for less.

Which deck lasts longer?

The Husqvarna's 10-gauge fabricated deck is heavier and more durable than the Toro's 13-gauge stamped deck. The Toro deck is fine for residential use but is the lighter build.

Which engine is stronger?

The Husqvarna's Kawasaki FR691V at 726 cc and 23.1 hp. The Toro's engine is 708 cc, and its listing gives conflicting power figures of 15.5HP and 22.5 hp.

Do both mulch and bag?

The Toro comes set up for side discharge and mulching, with an optional bagger. The Husqvarna is a 3-blade side-discharge deck; check that a bagger and mulch kit are available for your model before buying.
