I think I have an idea, but wanted to see what you high production farm/tractor experts thought from your experience. We use farm tractors in Florida to dry out the dirt after it rains or to mix better soil with the existing. The DOT also allows us to disk in the grass since there really isn't in topsoil prior to placing fill. We own several Challenger 675's which I think are 275 hp. They have what looks to be a 15' or larger disk. How many acres can you do a day in sandy material, flat ground and no obstacles? I use 7-10 acres an hour for our estimate, but operations says no way yet our cost reports show about 12 ac/hr.
not sure what the best way to handle them is but they shouldnt be on tv and gettn married and raisin kids

Depends on MPH and that depends on terrain I would think that's 10 acres is pushing it but if u can go 10mph maybe so...
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

With autosteer (which makes most use of Ft per pass) and decent ground 10 acres per hr max with a 20’ or smaller disk. Now then throw a 30’ behind you with the HP to roll on about 6-7 mph you can get 18-20 per hr.

At 10 mph you would theoretically be getting 18 ac/hr with a 15' disk. But, operator has to take a piss, eat lunch, fuel, write a country song, piddle with his twinkie; so I figured 5 mph would account for all that crap you cowboys do

I was just messing with you. We do both types of that. In this case I was talking about 50 acres and up. But you bring up a good point with the interstate type work. I think we use 2 acres an hour for that type production.

I don't think we'd utilize it enough for GPS which I want to say is around $10K per machine after you buy the software and the rover.
