A push / walk-behind mower typically weighs 65 lb, with most between 50 and 84 lb — from 21 lb (Craftsman Corded 20-in 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower (13 Amp)) to 888 lb (Ferris FW45 Walk Behind Mower (61 in / 5902016)). How weight affects hauling ›

How much does a push / walk-behind mower weigh, and can you haul it?

The typical figures above come from the 156 push / walk-behind mowers MowerFacts holds a published weight for. “Typical” is the median, and the 50–84 lb band is the middle half — a mean across a 21 lb machine and a 888 lb one would describe neither.

Machines in this class are lifted, not towed — a typical one goes in a car boot or a truck bed, so there is no trailer arithmetic to do. Sort the Weight column above to see the whole spread.

How to read this chart

Acres per hour is MowerFacts’ own calculation, not a manufacturer figure: deck width (ft) × speed (mph) × 5,280 / 43,560, then × 0.8 for overlap, turns and trimming. It only appears where the manufacturer publishes both a deck width and a ground speed.

The speed used is 70% of the published top speed, because manufacturers publish a top speed and almost nobody mows at it — you slow for cut quality, for ground that isn’t flat, and because a zero-turn at 11 mph is unpleasant to sit on. At 70% these figures land inside the acres-per-hour range the trade quotes for real work; at the published top speed they come out roughly 40% higher. Each model page shows both, so you can see the optimistic number rather than have it chosen for you.

List prices are the manufacturer’s published figure, re-checked daily, excluding tax, freight and dealer setup. 82 of these models are sold on a dealer quote, shown as “quote”.

Every other column is the manufacturer’s own specification, normalized to the same units so the columns compare. Blank means the manufacturer doesn’t publish it — never a guess.
