What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Exmark’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre4 min 3 min
- ½ acre8 min 6 min
- 1 acre17 min 12 min
- 2 acres34 min 24 min
- 5 acres1 h 25 min 59 min
- 10 acres2 h 50 min 1 h 59 min
About 17 min per acre at 3.53 acres/hour, mowing at 8.4 mph. The second figure is at the published 12.0 mph top speed (5.04 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 49.4 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 inch0.74 hp/in
- Run time per tank~14.0 h
Mowing times assume 3.53 acres/hour: deck width x 8.4 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 8.4 mph is 70% of the 12.0 mph top speed Exmark publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 12.0 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.
