You need to consider the "over-lap" when calculating such things as bush hogging. With a 6' mower, you will probably cut about 62" to 64" of the 72" true width of the mower.

Then you need to allow for time spent turning and slowing when you encounter obsticles. At 4 MPH, you will probably average about 2-1/2 acres an hour. John
