What the specs work out to

Figures MowerFacts computes from Honda’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.

Mowing time

  • ¼ acre32 min 22 min
  • ½ acre1 h 3 min 44 min
  • 1 acre2 h 7 min 1 h 29 min
  • 2 acres4 h 14 min 2 h 58 min

About 127 min per acre at 0.47 acres/hour, mowing at 2.8 mph. The second figure is at the published 4.0 mph top speed (0.68 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 0.1 acres per tank.

Gate & trailer fit

  • 32 in gateFits
  • 36 in gateFits
  • 48 in gateFits

Needs at least 27 in of clearance (estimated).

Power & run time

  • Run time per tank~0.2 h

Mowing times assume 0.47 acres/hour: deck width x 2.8 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 2.8 mph is 70% of the 4.0 mph top speed Honda publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 4.0 mph, shown so you can see it.

Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Honda doesn't publish an overall width — measure before buying if a gate is tight.

Run time assumes a typical 1 gal/hour burn at working load; real consumption varies with engine, load and cut.
