What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Troy-Bilt’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre21 min 15 min
- ½ acre42 min 29 min
- 1 acre1 h 23 min 58 min
- 2 acres2 h 46 min 1 h 56 min
About 83 min per acre at 0.72 acres/hour, mowing at 3.0 mph. The second figure is at the published 4.2 mph top speed (1.03 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 0.9 acres per tank.
Gate & trailer fit
- 32 in gateToo wide
- 36 in gateFits
- 48 in gateFits
Needs at least 36 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.35 hp/in
- Run time per tank~1.3 h
Mowing times assume 0.72 acres/hour: deck width x 3.0 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 3.0 mph is 70% of the 4.2 mph top speed Troy-Bilt 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 Troy-Bilt 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.
