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

- ½ acre12 min 8 min
- 1 acre24 min 17 min
- 2 acres48 min 34 min
- 5 acres2 h 1 h 24 min
- 10 acres4 h 2 h 48 min
About 24 min per acre at 2.5 acres/hour, mowing at 5.9 mph. The second figure is at the published 8.5 mph top speed (3.57 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 20.0 acres per tank.
Gate & trailer fit

- 36 in gateToo wide
- 48 in gateToo wide
Needs at least 59 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.452 hp/in
- Run time per tank~8.0 h
Mowing times assume 2.5 acres/hour: deck width x 5.9 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 5.9 mph is 70% of the 8.5 mph top speed Exmark publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 8.5 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.
Run time assumes a typical 1 gal/hour burn at working load; real consumption varies with engine, load and cut.
