Acres Per Hour Calculator

Field capacity is the acreage a machine actually covers in an hour, and it comes out of three things: the working width, the ground speed and the share of the hour spent covering ground rather than turning, filling or moving. Enter a width in feet, a speed in miles per hour and a field efficiency and you get acres and hectares per hour; the other two actions give the hours a field of a known size will take, and the working width needed to finish inside a fixed window. Efficiency is what separates the theoretical rate from the one the day delivers. Width here means the cut the machine leaves behind, so subtract any overlap you drive before entering it.
