What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Craftsman’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre10 min 7 min
- ½ acre21 min 15 min
- 1 acre42 min 29 min
- 2 acres1 h 24 min 59 min
- 5 acres3 h 30 min 2 h 27 min
About 42 min per acre at 1.43 acres/hour, mowing at 3.8 mph. The second figure is at the published 5.5 mph top speed (2.04 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 4.3 acres per tank.
Weight & hauling

- Towed weight1,500 lb
- single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 2,000 lb spare
- tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 5,500 lb spare
Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 1,500 lb.
Gate & trailer fit
- 32 in gateToo wide
- 36 in gateToo wide
- 48 in gateToo wide
Needs at least 52 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.478 hp/in
- Run time per tank~3.0 h
Mowing times assume 1.43 acres/hour: deck width x 3.8 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 3.8 mph is 70% of the 5.5 mph top speed Craftsman publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 5.5 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Craftsman 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 Craftsman'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.
