What the specs work out to

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

Mowing time

  • ¼ acre4 min 3 min
  • ½ acre8 min 5 min
  • 1 acre16 min 11 min
  • 2 acres31 min 22 min
  • 5 acres1 h 18 min 55 min
  • 10 acres2 h 37 min 1 h 50 min

About 16 min per acre at 3.82 acres/hour, mowing at 9.1 mph. The second figure is at the published 13.0 mph top speed (5.46 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 51.2 acres per tank.

Weight & hauling

  • Machine weight1,355 lb
  • + 6×12 trailer900 lb
  • Towed weight2,255 lb
  • single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 1,245 lb spare
  • tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 4,745 lb spare

Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 2,255 lb.

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

  • Power per deck inch0.519 hp/in
  • Run time per tank~13.4 h

Mowing times assume 3.82 acres/hour: deck width x 9.1 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 9.1 mph is 70% of the 13.0 mph top speed Gravely publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 13.0 mph, shown so you can see it.

Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Gravely doesn't publish an overall width — measure before buying if a gate is tight.

Towed weight adds a 900 lb allowance for a 6x12 open utility trailer to Gravely'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.

Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI questions

What size deck is on the Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI?

The Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI has a 52-inch (1321 mm) cutting deck with 7 ga construction.

What engine is in the Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI?

The Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI is powered by a Kawasaki® FX850V, 852 cc, 27 hp. Horsepower is the manufacturer's own rating.

How much does the Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI weigh?

The Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI weighs 1,355 lb (614.6 kg) as specified by Gravely.

What size trailer do I need for the Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI?

At 1,355 lb, the Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI on a typical 6x12 open utility trailer (about 900 lb empty) is roughly 2,255 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 2,255 lb. Tongue weight, axle placement and your own trailer's empty weight still have to be checked — this is the arithmetic, not a loading plan.

How fast is the Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI?

Top ground speed is 13 mph. With its 52-inch deck that works out to about 5.46 acres per hour at 80% efficiency — allowing for overlap, turns and trimming.

How long does the Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI take to mow an acre?

About 11 min per acre, from its 52-inch deck at 13 mph and 80% efficiency — roughly 5.46 acres an hour, so five acres is about 55 min. Rough or obstacle-heavy ground takes longer; this is deck width times ground speed, not a timed test.

The Gravely PRO-TURN 252 KAWASAKI holds 13.4 gal (50.7 L) of fuel.
