Re: Something new to rc
Are you sure on your acre count? 50ft implement, he'd have to be travelling about 11mph.. double discs don't work well at high speeds!
My 51ft air drill @5.5mph = 33ac/hr, but the reality with headland turning & other obstacles throughout the middle, it's more like 28-31ac/hr on mile long strips... less for 1/2 mile square quarters.
How deep is he working? My lil 325hp Panther is pulling a Sunflower 35ft double offset @3" & hardly breaks a sweat @4.5mph (sandy clay loam soil)... although I just got it last Fall & it was so dry that the implement was either riding on top or pulling up softball sized lumps... I only did 40ac, then quit! waited for rain that never came. I didn't seed that half this spring, it's in such disarray, weeds & tall stubble... probably disc it early July, seed it to winter wht in late Aug.
