1000 bushel cart 30 inch rows

It will take 5.5 minutes to fill the 1000 bushel cart. Combine, at the speed and width you suggest, will cut 90 bushels _ minute, or 500 bushels in 5.5 minutes. Tank on the combine would have to be 500 bushels. Ed in MT

No kidding! How did you get thatIJ I got totally different answer, but it's hard, I had to convert everything to kilometres and tonnes first....;-)

 

[boetboer]

Yeah, and will this combine have 2 engines or 3IJ

 

[boetboer]

Ed, how did you get to 90 bu_minIJ I had to convert everything to tonnes and metres (with some help from you, if that might remind you who I am....) and made a ballsup somewhere. Well, at least I had the right idea...

Hi Marius, 43,560 square feet in an acre. 5280 feet in a mile. 18 rows @ 2.5 feet = 45 feet. 5,280 X 45 X 5 mph = 1,188,000 sq ft _hr. or 27.273 acres _ hr X 200 = 5,455 bu _hr 5455 divided by 60 minutes = 90 bu _ min. Ed in MT
