Hello,

I am bidding on a property that is about 3/4 acre. It's all flat except at the ends there are some good slopes. Nothing a 48" can't handle ;) There are also quite a few trees and flower beds (around 15 obstacles). I was wondering if anyone could let me know how much time it would take me to trim and mow this size property? I know there are a lot of variables, but I have never mowed with a 48" mower before and I want to get the best bid possible to get this account.

Mowing time would be around 15 min. Trimming and blowing is a different question and no way to tell without seeing it.

WB walk behind ? 15 min. now that would be moving right along?

Thanks! I am guessing about 15-20 minutes of trimming. So, I could be able to do it in around 40-45 minutes with blowing (not much blowing).

I didn't know my mower could cut that much in so little time.

Sorry I did no see the giant WB. If you don't have a sulky doubly that time.

I would play it safe and go with 20 minutes.

My Ferris is a 61in. rider and it takes me to do 1 acre 20 to 30 minuets. Depending on conditions, but I am cutting grass for myself and not for money. I don't know how fast my mower travels but its a lot faster then I can walk., never tried it but I think it would be more like a run then a walk. Just saying 15 min. to do 3/4 acre with a 48" WB you will be moving right along. Not saying it can't be done??? They tell me that the new Ferris dose travel a little faster then my older one but mine goes at a good clip. I have also been told that if you slow down a little your mower dose a better mowing.
