What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Scag’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre10 min 7 min
- ½ acre19 min 14 min
- 1 acre39 min 27 min
- 2 acres1 h 18 min 55 min
- 5 acres3 h 15 min 2 h 16 min
About 39 min per acre at 1.54 acres/hour, mowing at 5.9 mph. The second figure is at the published 8.5 mph top speed (2.2 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 7.7 acres per tank.
Weight & hauling

- Towed weight1,718 lb
- single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 1,782 lb spare
- tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 5,282 lb spare
Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 1,718 lb.
Gate & trailer fit
- 32 in gateToo wide
- 36 in gateToo wide
- 48 in gateFits
Needs at least 39 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.5 hp/in
- Run time per tank~5.0 h
Mowing times assume 1.54 acres/hour: deck width x 5.9 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 5.9 mph is 70% of the 8.5 mph top speed Scag publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 8.5 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.
Towed weight adds a 900 lb allowance for a 6x12 open utility trailer to Scag'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.
