What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Cub Cadet’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre5 min 3 min
- ½ acre10 min 7 min
- 1 acre20 min 14 min
- 2 acres39 min 28 min
- 5 acres1 h 38 min 1 h 9 min
- 10 acres3 h 16 min 2 h 18 min
About 20 min per acre at 3.05 acres/hour, mowing at 6.3 mph. The second figure is at the published 9.0 mph top speed (4.36 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 16.8 acres per tank.
Gate & trailer fit
- 32 in gateToo wide
- 36 in gateToo wide
- 48 in gateToo wide
Needs at least 66 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.425 hp/in
- Run time per tank~5.5 h
Mowing times assume 3.05 acres/hour: deck width x 6.3 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 6.3 mph is 70% of the 9.0 mph top speed Cub Cadet publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 9.0 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Cub Cadet 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.
