What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Exmark’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.

- 1 acre9 min 6 min
- 2 acres18 min 12 min
- 5 acres44 min 31 min

About 9 min per acre at 6.79 acres/hour, mowing at 8.8 mph. The second figure is at the published 12.5 mph top speed (9.7 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 81.5 acres per tank.

- single-axle 3,500 lbOver by 50 lb
- tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 3,450 lb spare
Needs a tandem-axle 7,000 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 3,550 lb.
Gate & trailer fit

- 36 in gateToo wide
- 48 in gateToo wide
Needs at least 102 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.385 hp/in
- Run time per tank~12.0 h
Mowing times assume 6.79 acres/hour: deck width x 8.8 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 8.8 mph is 70% of the 12.5 mph top speed Exmark publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 12.5 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.
Towed weight adds a 900 lb allowance for a 6x12 open utility trailer to Exmark'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.
