What the specs work out to

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

Mowing time

  • ¼ acre3 min 2 min
  • ½ acre7 min 5 min
  • 1 acre13 min 9 min
  • 2 acres27 min 19 min
  • 5 acres1 h 7 min 47 min
  • 10 acres2 h 14 min 1 h 34 min

About 13 min per acre at 4.49 acres/hour, mowing at 9.1 mph. The second figure is at the published 13.0 mph top speed (6.41 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 67.4 acres per tank.

Weight & hauling

  • Machine weight1,541 lb
  • + 6×12 trailer900 lb
  • Towed weight2,441 lb
  • single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 1,059 lb spare
  • tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 4,559 lb spare

Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 2,441 lb.

Gate & trailer fit

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

Needs at least 67 in of clearance (estimated).

Power & run time

  • Power per deck inch0.328 hp/in
  • Run time per tank~15.0 h

Mowing times assume 4.49 acres/hour: deck width x 9.1 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 9.1 mph is 70% of the 13.0 mph top speed Bobcat publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 13.0 mph, shown so you can see it.

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

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

At 1,541 lb, the Bobcat ZT7000 Zero-Turn Mower on a typical 6x12 open utility trailer (about 900 lb empty) is roughly 2,441 lb of towed weight. That is within a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer, and your tow vehicle needs to be rated for at least 2,441 lb. Tongue weight, axle placement and your own trailer's empty weight still have to be checked — this is the arithmetic, not a loading plan.
