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.
