Acres Per Hour Mowing Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Acres Per Hour (APH):

\[ APH = \left( \frac{MW}{12} \right) \times \left( MS \times 5280 \right) / 43560 \times 0.90 \]

Where:

\(APH\) is the Acres Per Hour
\(MW\) is the Mower Width (inches)
\(MS\) is the Mower Speed (mph)

What is Acres Per Hour?

Acres per hour is a unit of square area per unit of time, in this case, acres and hours respectively. The term is most often used in landscaping to describe how much area a lawnmower can cut per hour.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mower Width (\(MW\)) = 60 inches
Mower Speed (\(MS\)) = 5 mph

Using the formula:

\[ APH = \left( \frac{60}{12} \right) \times \left( 5 \times 5280 \right) / 43560 \times 0.90 = 5 \times 26400 / 43560 \times 0.90 \approx 2.73 \text{ acres/hour} \]

The Acres Per Hour is approximately 2.73 acres/hour.
