Enter the cutting width of the bush hog and the tractor speed into the calculator to determine the acres per hour that can be mowed. This calculator helps in estimating the productivity of mowing operations.
Bush Hog Acres Per Hour Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the acres per hour that can be mowed with a bush hog.
APH = (CW / 5280) * TS * 43560 / 5280
Variables:
- APH is the acres per hour that can be mowed
- CW is the cutting width of the bush hog (feet)
- TS is the tractor speed (miles per hour)
To calculate the acres per hour, convert the cutting width from feet to miles, then multiply by the tractor speed and convert square feet to acres.
What is Bush Hog Acres Per Hour?
Bush hog acres per hour is a measure of the area that can be mowed or cleared in one hour using a bush hog attached to a tractor. It is a useful metric for farmers, landscapers, and anyone involved in agricultural or land maintenance work to estimate the efficiency and time required for mowing large areas.
How to Calculate Bush Hog Acres Per Hour?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Bush Hog Acres Per Hour.
- First, determine the cutting width of the bush hog (CW) in feet.
- Next, determine the tractor speed (TS) in miles per hour.
- Next, gather the formula from above = APH = (CW / 5280) * TS * 43560 / 5280.
- Finally, calculate the Bush Hog Acres Per Hour (APH).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
cutting width of the bush hog (CW) = 6 feet
tractor speed (TS) = 5 miles per hour
