Model comparison
Mapping area is the maximum site area the mower can handle. Weekly capacity is speed x hours/day x days/week x quantity. A mower can fail either by mapping limit or by not having enough weekly throughput.
Bottom line
For 6 acres cut twice per week with only an 8-hour daily mowing window, do not buy one CM240M1 and assume the “6 acre” rating means it will keep up. It maps the property, but it does not have the mowing throughput. The practical minimum is two mowers, preferably split into zones.
My pick: 2 x CM120M1 if the land can be cleanly split into two 3-acre zones. Upgrade to 2 x CM240M1 if you want each mower capable of knowing the whole property, need more routing flexibility, or expect ugly downtime.
