@tecate00000 yea these guy are saying they only plant 30 to 35 with a 24..omg wtf are they on.. i plant right at 30 an hour with a 16row.. id say 90 acres an hour with a db 120 would be about right.
@ApexRtxGuy i plant almost 30 an hour with a 16row you most not be a real... ive done it, it can be done. 30 to 35 with a 24row are you kidding, if your onl;y planting 4mph, you need to get a tractor that will pull that planter you claim only plants 30 to 35 acres an hour.
@StumpRidgeBeef is correct. 7.56 mph would be required if the rows were 7.56 miles long (no turning at all). Even with 1.5 mile rows (which would be awesome) you could still only aim for 70 or so acres per hour. Planting over 6.3mph is certainly not recommended with any planter. The "110 ACRES AN HOUR" claim is absolutely bogus and ridiculous.
I question the 110 acres per hour number. A 120 ft wide 48R30 planter would require a forward speed of 7.56 mph to cover 110 acres per hour even at 100% efficiency factor. Those planter row units will not do a good job at 7.5 or 8 mph. They are usually run at 5 to 6 mph. A number like 80 acres per hour would still be impressive but also much more realistic.

I calculate if you plant at 7 mph without turning, you will plant 100 acres per hour! Thats awesome!

@StumpRidgeBeef its not impossible. we run 4 16row planters and we can go 7 to 8 miles per hour depending on the ground we are on

@StumpRidgeBeef agreed a 24r30 can do around 30 to 35 an hour so 80 in a big open feild would be logical.
