What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Kubota’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.

- ½ acre22 min 15 min
- 1 acre44 min 31 min
- 2 acres1 h 28 min 1 h 2 min

About 44 min per acre at 1.36 acres/hour, mowing at 4.0 mph. The second figure is at the published 5.7 mph top speed (1.94 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 4.9 acres per tank.

Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 1,522 lb.

Needs at least 55 in of clearance.
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.512 hp/in
- Run time per tank~3.6 h
Mowing times assume 1.36 acres/hour: deck width x 4.0 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 4.0 mph is 70% of the 5.7 mph top speed Kubota publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 5.7 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses Kubota's published overall width.
Towed weight adds a 900 lb allowance for a 6x12 open utility trailer to Kubota's published machine weight. Your trailer's own weight is on its VIN plate. Tongue weight, axle placement and your vehicle's tow rating are still yours to check — this is the load, not a loading plan.
Run time assumes a typical 1 gal/hour burn at working load; real consumption varies with engine, load and cut.
