Depending on the tranny, i'd say somewhere around the 30+ range. But be carefull lawnmowers aren't stable at those speeds. I had a dynamark that went 40+, but it was lowered, the front end was welded solid, and the steering was upgraded. But it was still very hairy at those speeds. Just be smart, and dont get hurt! Wink
