The same as determining the horsepower for any piston engine. One HP equals
the power necessary to lift 33,000 lb., a distance of one foot, in one
minute.

horsepower.The area to mow is 3/4 acre with a 4% grade.

The HP (and style, and deck size) are dependent on how much money you have
to spend and how quickly you want the job done.
