What the specs work out to

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

Mowing time

  • ¼ acre4 min 3 min
  • ½ acre8 min 6 min
  • 1 acre16 min 11 min
  • 2 acres32 min 22 min
  • 5 acres1 h 19 min 55 min
  • 10 acres2 h 38 min 1 h 51 min

About 16 min per acre at 3.8 acres/hour, mowing at 7.7 mph. The second figure is at the published 11.0 mph top speed (5.42 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 36.1 acres per tank.

Weight & hauling

  • Machine weight1,138 lb
  • + 6×12 trailer900 lb
  • Towed weight2,038 lb
  • single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 1,462 lb spare
  • tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 4,962 lb spare

Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 2,038 lb.

Gate & trailer fit

  • 32 in gateToo wide
  • 36 in gateToo wide
  • 48 in gateToo wide

Needs at least 63 in of clearance.

Power & run time

  • Power per deck inch0.443 hp/in
  • Run time per tank~9.5 h

Mowing times assume 3.8 acres/hour: deck width x 7.7 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 7.7 mph is 70% of the 11.0 mph top speed Spartan publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 11.0 mph, shown so you can see it.

Fit uses Spartan's published overall width.

Towed weight adds a 900 lb allowance for a 6x12 open utility trailer to Spartan'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.
