What the specs work out to

Figures MowerFacts computes from Grasshopper’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.

Mowing time

  • ¼ acre6 min 4 min
  • ½ acre11 min 8 min
  • 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.

Gate & trailer fit

  • 32 in gateToo wide
  • 36 in gateToo wide
  • 48 in gateToo wide

Needs at least 59 in of clearance (estimated).

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 the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Grasshopper 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.
