What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Kubota’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre11 min 8 min
- ½ acre23 min 16 min
- 1 acre45 min 32 min
- 2 acres1 h 31 min 1 h 3 min
- 5 acres3 h 47 min 2 h 39 min
About 45 min per acre at 1.32 acres/hour, mowing at 4.5 mph. The second figure is at the published 6.5 mph top speed (1.89 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 6.6 acres per tank.
Gate & trailer fit

Needs at least 42 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.403 hp/in
- Run time per tank~5.0 h
Mowing times assume 1.32 acres/hour: deck width x 4.5 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 4.5 mph is 70% of the 6.5 mph top speed Kubota publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 6.5 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Kubota 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.
