Efficiency is a good point, it's easy to chew up time turning and backing. I try for a Zamboni style pattern, with as little idle time as possible.

8ft pull-type and 64pto figure around 3/3.5acres,an HR,as stated above is pretty close,in good conditions. I use freemaptools.com" area calculator",type in your city state(may take zip),then hit the sat.view(zoom in),mark your pins(gives you acreage),cause the pasture is always smaller when you ask.
Oh yeah, keep an eye on the bolts holding the gear boxes on. Learned that the hard way- it still cuts with only 1 out of 4 bolts left in! We are away for the weekend, when I get home I will try to post what one field looks like after about 2 months.

. There's no way to lose money charging by the hour, unless you break something. On the other side, what one operator accomplishes in one hour may take another 2 hours, that's the variable a customer won't like.
