Hello again
Mowing at full rpm, with a full tank of gas, could you please tell me about how long I should be able to go?
Thanks
Mike

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

I have checked mine and it is about 1 gallon per hour or per acre or
43,560 sq. ft with a woods42 on the '64 and grass about 8-10 inches
cut to 3 1/2-4 inches. That is when I don't let any grass grow under my
feet.
Ha! Just had to throw that one in.
S-o-o, I guess that equates to $1.79 per acre per cutting or $0.0041
per sq ft. not to get too precise mind you.

I love this forum. Thank you Bigdog.
OK..I set my watch and started her up. Using the ruler method, I showed about five gallons. One hour later I measured the tank again...yep a little more than four inches.
One problem here though...the gas in Sierra Vista AZ is 1.99/gal. How will this adjust my cost per acre, and my operating costs. 2 net 10 = 60/1.99. I have moved the zypher one place to the left of the decimal, but it can't be that cheap to run.
Seriously..Thanks.
