How long to plow an acre

I'm learning, is too move the snow over with the least amount of return trips over the same spot like trail offs, missed spots, etc. Going around Light poles take most of my time. Good Luck. Metro Lawn PlowSite. Location St.

You may want to rethink your salt pricing. I am not sure which you are using. This detail could cost you the account s all together. Location New Hampshire. Metro Lawn said:.

That's the bad thing about doing it from the bags here. With bag salt, you can't compare to that. Now, take into consideration that you ARE getting more salt per ton with bagged salt, than with bulk. Bagged salt is much dryer than bulk salt. Anyway, there is no way we could put our bagged salt prices onto any larger lots and be competitive in bids. This amounts to lbs.. These places have a much higher markup than than the big places. Now, what one friend of mine does, is since he has a place to keep his pick-up 1 ton , and doesn't use it for anything else, is he buys bulk salt, and shovels it into his tailgate spreader.

Mathematics modeling, mathematical theory, operations research, and practical applications are useful tools for predicting crop yield or for planning how much land should be cultivated. Some of these methods could be included as practical examples in mathematics curricula, allowing students to gain an interest in these topics.

A case study is used here to illustrate how a real-life farming problem can be modeled as a set of mathematical equations and used to advise farmers on how best to cultivate their land. There are many possible formulations of this problem based on the assumptions made, and readers are encouraged to try out some solutions of their own. New Applications for Mathematical Modeling In developing countries, local daily life problems are rarely mentioned in the mathematics classroom.

Mathematics modeling is often restricted to large scale research projects. Egypt, India, Benin, and Niger use mathematical modeling for national and regional economic long-term planning. South American countries use it for water control and analysis of water reservoirs.

Mathematical modeling can also be used as an aid for long-term planning. These studies are carried out by international organizations or consulting agencies in cooperation with government departments in developing countries. However, the results of these large scale projects often reflect the point of view of the organization financing the research, which may differ from the farmers' point of view.

Very often, there is little understanding of the problems that poor farmers struggle with in the village. Village organizations, farmers cooperatives, and district planners do not have access to the organizations that decide which research projects receive funding. Yet there are many urgent problem areas in the everyday life of farmers that could benefit from such research.

Agriculture employs the largest percentage of the population in most developing countries. What are the economic advantages? DougS wrote: 10" deep?

When we plowed years ago we went about 6 inches. Now we chisel plow and have it set about 12 inches deep and you can see the subsoil getting dug up sometimes.

We had a offset disc for a while but the timing for having it was bad as the 4 years we had it the springs where just wet and discing down the corn stalks was just a smear. I think Diy has this customer pegged. He is gonna be following you with a ruler. I'd walk away without giving a quote you need a 20" plow to go 10" deep. Sounds like he needs a chisel plow. I did a 5 acre spot last year. It took me quite a while but the farmer I work for said just get it on your way back from the east fields.

I had a heck of a time turning around a 36' chisel plow I had to fold it up at the end of each pass and turn around than unfold and make a pass the 45 deg angled passes were even worse. I think it took me an hour and a half.

Normaly I covered about 5 acres every 15 minutes. Maybe more like a half mile per hour on average would be more reasonable.

Like a few others have said, maybe an acre in a good day would be about right. Horses are slower, but generally you can plow one-half acre per hour with a tractor and plow, per bottom- depends on size. Bigger plows are more efficient. Dont fergit the time it takes to turn the team around and get the plow lined up again. Dad would tell us that he had 9 head of horses on a 3 bottom plow and the feller in the next field was using 9 head of mules on his plow.

Dad said there was no way he could keep up with the mules. This was in Washington state. Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Welcome Guest, Log in or Register.
