What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Husqvarna’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre4 min 3 min
- ½ acre7 min 5 min
- 1 acre15 min 10 min
- 2 acres29 min 21 min
- 5 acres1 h 14 min 52 min
- 10 acres2 h 27 min 1 h 43 min
About 15 min per acre at 4.07 acres/hour, mowing at 8.4 mph. The second figure is at the published 12.0 mph top speed (5.82 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 48.8 acres per tank.
Weight & hauling

- Towed weight2,150 lb
- single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 1,350 lb spare
- tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 4,850 lb spare
Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 2,150 lb.
Gate & trailer fit
- 32 in gateToo wide
- 36 in gateToo wide
- 48 in gateToo wide
Needs at least 66 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.45 hp/in
- Run time per tank~12.0 h
Mowing times assume 4.07 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 Husqvarna 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 Husqvarna 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 Husqvarna'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.
