Field & Equipment Calculators

Estimate acres (or hectares) per hour and time to finish for mowing, bush hogging, tilling, spraying and harvesting, the same proven formula, tuned with typical values for each job.

One formula, every implement

Acres per hour = width (ft) × speed (mph) × field efficiency ÷ 8.25 Hectares per hour = width (m) × speed (km/h) × field efficiency ÷ 10

The constant 8.25 comes from 43,560 sq ft per acre ÷ 5,280 ft per mile. Field efficiency, usually 70 to 85%, accounts for turns, overlap, refills and obstacles, and is the biggest difference between theory and a real day in the field.

Which calculator?

  • Acres Per Hour: any implement, with presets from push mowers to combines.
  • Mowing and Time to Mow: lawns and properties, including season totals.
  • Bush Hog: pasture and brush with terrain-based efficiency.
  • Tilling: tillers, discs, chisels and cultivators.
  • Spraying: adds acres per tank, tank loads and total mix.
  • Harvesting: adds bushels or tonnes per hour.

FAQ

Common questions

Why does the formula divide by 8.25?

It converts feet × miles per hour into acres per hour: 43,560 ÷ 5,280 = 8.25.

What field efficiency should I use?

Start with 75% for typical conditions. Use 80 to 85% for large, regular fields and 55 to 65% for small or obstacle-filled areas.
