I am not the brightest light bulb in the socket, but,I think it works out to about 8 acres. I figured it out by taking the distance traveled in an hour (5mph x 5280ft/mile).

This should work out to a little over 8.5 acres covered. considering headlands and overlap, I would think the actual ground planted might be closer to 8 acres.
