What the specs work out to
Figures MowerFacts computes from Wright’s own numbers — not published by the manufacturer.

- 1 acre14 min 10 min
- 2 acres28 min 19 min
- 5 acres1 h 10 min 49 min
- 10 acres2 h 19 min 1 h 37 min
About 14 min per acre at 4.31 acres/hour, mowing at 8.8 mph. The second figure is at the published 12.5 mph top speed (6.16 acres/hour) — faster than anyone really mows. About 47.4 acres per tank.

- tandem-axle 7,000 lbCarries it, 4,920 lb spare
Needs a single-axle 3,500 lb trailer and a vehicle rated to tow at least 2,080 lb.

- 48 in gateToo wide
Needs at least 63 in of clearance.
Power & run time
- Power per deck inch0.443 hp/in
- Run time per tank~11.0 h
Mowing times assume 4.31 acres/hour: deck width x 8.8 mph at 80% efficiency, which allows for overlap, turns and trimming. 8.8 mph is 70% of the 12.5 mph top speed Wright publishes - almost nobody mows flat out. The "at top speed" figure is the same sum at 12.5 mph, shown so you can see it.
Fit uses Wright's published overall width.
Towed weight adds a 900 lb allowance for a 6x12 open utility trailer to Wright'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.
