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

- 1 acre25 min 17 min
- 2 acres49 min 34 min
- 5 acres2 h 3 min 1 h 26 min

About 25 min per acre at 2.44 acres/hour, mowing at 6.3 mph. The second figure is at the published 9.0 mph top speed (3.49 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 17.1 acres per tank.

- 48 in gateToo wide
Needs at least 54 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.479 hp/in
- Run time per tank~7.0 h
Mowing times assume 2.44 acres/hour: deck width x 6.3 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 6.3 mph is 70% of the 9.0 mph top speed Exmark publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 9.0 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.
