What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Scag’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.
Mowing time
- ¼ acre22 min 15 min
- ½ acre44 min 31 min
- 1 acre1 h 28 min 1 h 2 min
- 2 acres2 h 57 min 2 h 4 min
About 88 min per acre at 0.68 acres/hour, mowing at 2.8 mph. The second figure is at the published 4.0 mph top speed (0.97 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 0.7 acres per tank.
Gate & trailer fit

- 36 in gateFits
- 48 in gateFits
Needs at least 36 in of clearance (estimated).
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.233 hp/in
- Run time per tank~1.0 h
Mowing times assume 0.68 acres/hour: deck width x 2.8 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 2.8 mph is 70% of the 4.0 mph top speed Scag publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 4.0 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses the deck width plus 6 in for the discharge chute, because Scag 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.
