What the specs work out to

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

Mowing time

  • ¼ acre7 min 5 min
  • ½ acre14 min 10 min
  • 1 acre28 min 19 min
  • 2 acres55 min 39 min
  • 5 acres2 h 18 min 1 h 37 min
  • 10 acres4 h 36 min 3 h 13 min

About 28 min per acre at 2.17 acres/hour, mowing at 5.6 mph. The second figure is at the published 8.0 mph top speed (3.1 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 11.1 acres per tank.

Weight & hauling

  • Machine weight802 lb
  • + 6×12 trailer900 lb
  • Towed weight1,702 lb
  • single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 1,798 lb spare
  • tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 5,298 lb spare

Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 1,702 lb.

Gate & trailer fit

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

Needs at least 51 in of clearance.

Power & run time

  • Power per deck inch0.479 hp/in
  • Run time per tank~5.1 h

Mowing times assume 2.17 acres/hour: deck width x 5.6 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 5.6 mph is 70% of the 8.0 mph top speed Gravely publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 8.0 mph, shown so you can see it.

Fit uses Gravely's published overall width.

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

Gravely ZT HD 48 KAWASAKI questions

What engine is in the Gravely ZT HD 48 KAWASAKI?

What size trailer do I need for the Gravely ZT HD 48 KAWASAKI?

At 802 lb, the Gravely ZT HD 48 KAWASAKI on a typical 6x12 open utility trailer (about 900 lb empty) is roughly 1,702 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 1,702 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.

Top ground speed is 8 mph. With its 48-inch deck that works out to about 3.1 acres per hour at 80% efficiency — allowing for overlap, turns and trimming.

About 19 min per acre, from its 48-inch deck at 8 mph and 80% efficiency — roughly 3.1 acres an hour, so five acres is about 1 h 37 min. Rough or obstacle-heavy ground takes longer; this is deck width times ground speed, not a timed test.
