What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Exmark’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre23 min 16 min
- ½ acre47 min 33 min
- 1 acre1 h 33 min 1 h 5 min
- 2 acres3 h 6 min 2 h 10 min
About 93 min per acre at 0.64 acres/hour, mowing at 2.7 mph. The second figure is at the published 3.8 mph top speed (0.92 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 0.6 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
- Run time per tank~1.0 h
Mowing times assume 0.64 acres/hour: deck width x 2.7 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 2.7 mph is 70% of the 3.8 mph top speed Exmark publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 3.8 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Exmark 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.
