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 works out to 26400ft traveled in an hour. You are pulling a drill planting a 13ft wide strip of land. This would suggest 343200 square feet of land planted in an hour at your 5mph speed. If I remember right, an acre contains a bit more than 40000 swquare feet. 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.
