What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Scag’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre30 min 21 min
- ½ acre1 h 42 min
- 1 acre2 h 1 h 24 min
- 2 acres4 h 1 min 2 h 48 min
About 120 min per acre at 0.5 acres/hour, mowing at 2.9 mph. The second figure is at the published 4.2 mph top speed (0.71 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 0.2 acres per tank.
Gate & trailer fit
- 32 in gateFits
- 36 in gateFits
- 48 in gateFits
Needs at least 27 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.191 hp/in
- Run time per tank~0.4 h
Mowing times assume 0.5 acres/hour: deck width x 2.9 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 2.9 mph is 70% of the 4.2 mph top speed Scag publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 4.2 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Scag 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.
