acres per hour disking
Tillage on 160 acres of cornstalks disking at 5 miles per hour with a 30 foot wide disk will require 8.8 hours covering 18 acres per hour. The tractor is pulling under maximum load so the charge is $78 per hour.he tractor is pulling under maximum load so the. charge is $78 per hour. The per acre cost is $2.88, making the total cost for two trips for seedbed preparation $7.17 per acre. A primary tillage pass made with a 15 foot disk chisel/ripper at 4 miles per hour will require 22 hours covering 7.3 acres per hour.

For example, if the average amount of diesel fuel required to harvest an acre of corn silage is 3.25 gallons, at a cost of $3.40 per gallon, then the average fuel cost per acre is $11.05.otal cost = $96.54 + 28.70 = $125.24 per hour. Finally, total cost per hour can be divided by the hourly work rate in acres per hour or tons per hour to calculate the total cost per acre or per ton. = $15.50 per hour. Other variable costs, such as fuel, lubrication, and labor, have already been included in the variable costs for the tractor, so the total cost per hour for the disk is simply the sum of the ownership costs per hour and the repair costs per hour: Total cost= $13.20 + $15.50 = $28.70 per hour.otal cost = $96.54 + 28.70 = $125.24 per hour. Finally, total cost per hour can be divided by the hourly work rate in acres per hour or tons per hour to calculate the total cost per acre or per ton. plowing.

About 4 acres plowed in an 8 hour day.That's from some place in my reading material on Cubs. Sun Mar 23, 2008 10:32 pm. Hey Eugene, even that is fast for those of us that remember the days of plowing with a turning plow and a pair of mules.bout 4 acres plowed in an 8 hour day.

Hey Eugene, even that is fast for those of us that remember the days of plowing with a turning plow and a pair of mules. This averaging assumes that 50 percent of the farmland is in corn and 50 percent is in soybeans. For strip tillage, average fuel use is 2.4 gallons per acre. Average costs are $12.67 per acre in fuel and labor costs, $16.56 in implement costs, $20.06 in tractor overhead, giving average total costs of $49.29 per acre.uel use for strip tillage is estimated at 2.9 gallons for corn and 2.0 gallons for soybeans (see Table 1). Corn tillage costs are $15.30 for fuel and labor, $16.79 for implement overhead, $21.22 for tractor overhead, giving total costs of $53.31 per acre. Chemical cost depends on the type of chemical used. For example, one applica-tion of glyphosate costs $6.25 per acre. The estimated cost of disking is $11 per acre. If necessary, fence woody plantings to protect them from livestock.Estimated fenc-ing costs are $693.24 per mile for a one-strand electric wire and $890.12 per mile for a two-strand electric wire.hemical cost depends on the type of chemical used. For example, one applica-tion of glyphosate costs $6.25 per acre. The estimated cost of disking is $11 per acre. If necessary, fence woody plantings to protect them from livestock. If the tractor is used 400 hours per year, the total ownership per hour is: Ownership cost per hour = $16,294 / 400 hours. = $40.74 per hour. Operating costs (also called variable costs) in­clude repairs and maintenance, fuel, lubrication, and operator labor.otal cost = $96.54 + 28.70 = $125.24 per hour. Finally, total cost per hour can be divided by the hourly work rate in acres per hour or tons per hour to calculate the total cost per acre or per ton. Total costs in the example are: Total cost = $96.54 + 28.70 = $125.24 per hour. Finally, total cost per hour can be divided by the hourly work rate in acres per hour or tons per hour to calculate the total cost per acre or per ton.otal cost = $96.54 + 28.70 = $125.24 per hour. Finally, total cost per hour can be divided by the hourly work rate in acres per hour or tons per hour to calculate the total cost per acre or per ton. The publication also has a section that shows you how to estimate a machinery rental rate, how to do the calculations. For example, say you want to rent a tandem disk. You start with the custom charge (includes labor, fuel and tractor) which is $12.55 per acre on the average, according to the 2012 survey.The percent of the custom charge which is for interest, insurance, depreciation and repairs (excluding fuel and labor) is 70% for tillage operations, such as disking.You would use 70% for tillage machines, 80% for planting and harvesting. Multiplying 70% x $12.55 equals $8.79 per acre.he publication also has a section that shows you how to estimate a machinery rental rate, how to do the calculations.
