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

- 1 acre23 min 16 min
- 2 acres45 min 32 min
- 5 acres1 h 53 min 1 h 19 min
- 10 acres3 h 47 min 2 h 39 min
About 23 min per acre at 2.65 acres/hour, mowing at 6.3 mph. The second figure is at the published 9.0 mph top speed (3.78 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 17.2 acres per tank.

- tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 5,120 lb spare
Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 1,880 lb.

Needs at least 66 in of clearance.
Power & run time
- Run time per tank~6.5 h
Mowing times assume 2.65 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 Grasshopper 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 Grasshopper's published overall width.
Towed weight adds a 900 lb allowance for a 6x12 open utility trailer to Grasshopper'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.

What size trailer do I need for the Grasshopper 225V-G4?
At 980 lb, the Grasshopper 225V-G4 on a typical 6x12 open utility trailer (about 900 lb empty) is roughly 1,880 lb of towed weight. That is within a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer, and your tow vehicle needs to be rated for at least 1,880 lb.
