What the specs work out to

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

Mowing time

  • ¼ acre9 min 6 min
  • ½ acre18 min 13 min
  • 1 acre37 min 26 min
  • 2 acres1 h 14 min 52 min
  • 5 acres3 h 4 min 2 h 9 min

About 37 min per acre at 1.63 acres/hour, mowing at 4.2 mph. The second figure is at the published 6.0 mph top speed (2.33 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 3.3 acres per tank.

Weight & hauling

  • Machine weight490 lb
  • + 6×12 trailer900 lb
  • Towed weight1,390 lb
  • single-axle 3,500 lbCarries it, 2,110 lb spare
  • tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 5,610 lb spare

Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 1,390 lb.

Gate & trailer fit

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

Needs at least 54 in of clearance (estimated).

Power & run time

  • Power per deck inch0.375 hp/in
  • Run time per tank~2.0 h

Mowing times assume 1.63 acres/hour: deck width x 4.2 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 4.2 mph is 70% of the 6.0 mph top speed Hustler Turf publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 6.0 mph, shown so you can see it.

Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Hustler Turf 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 Hustler Turf'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.

Hustler Turf Dash XD questions

What size deck is on the Hustler Turf Dash XD?

The Hustler Turf Dash XD has a 48-inch (1219 mm) cutting deck.

What engine is in the Hustler Turf Dash XD?

The Hustler Turf Dash XD is powered by a Kawasaki, 603 cc, 18 hp. Horsepower is the manufacturer's own rating.

How much does the Hustler Turf Dash XD weigh?

The Hustler Turf Dash XD weighs 490 lb (222.3 kg) as specified by Hustler Turf.

What size trailer do I need for the Hustler Turf Dash XD?

At 490 lb, the Hustler Turf Dash XD on a typical 6x12 open utility trailer (about 900 lb empty) is roughly 1,390 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 1,390 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 Hustler Turf Dash XD?

Top ground speed is 6 mph. With its 48-inch deck that works out to about 2.33 acres per hour at 80% efficiency — allowing for overlap, turns and trimming.

How long does the Hustler Turf Dash XD take to mow an acre?

About 26 min per acre, from its 48-inch deck at 6 mph and 80% efficiency — roughly 2.33 acres an hour, so five acres is about 2 h 9 min. Rough or obstacle-heavy ground takes longer; this is deck width times ground speed, not a timed test.

The Hustler Turf Dash XD holds 2 gal (7.6 L) of fuel.

How much does the Hustler Turf Dash XD cost?

Hustler Turf's published list price is $4,149, checked 22 October 2026. That excludes tax, freight, dealer setup and any local discount — dealers set the final price.
