What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Makita’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre42 min 29 min
- ½ acre1 h 24 min 59 min
- 1 acre2 h 48 min 1 h 58 min
- 2 acres5 h 37 min 3 h 56 min
About 168 min per acre at 0.36 acres/hour, mowing at 2.1 mph. The second figure is at the published 3.0 mph top speed (0.51 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows.
Gate & trailer fit
- 32 in gateFits
- 36 in gateFits
- 48 in gateFits
Needs at least 24 in of clearance.
Mowing times assume 0.36 acres/hour: deck width x 2.1 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 2.1 mph is 70% of the 3.0 mph top speed Makita publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 3.0 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses Makita's published overall width.
