My answer to I run a combine with a 30F header at 6MPH, yield average 100Bu/ac, grain bin 400Bu, how many passes can I go before I dump on a quarter section? how many acres/hours.
Your quarter section is 160 rods long (a rod is 16.5 feet). An acre is 160 square rods so it is an area 1 rod wide by the length of your field. Your header is cutting a little less than 2 rods each way so you will get your 4 acres in one round to fill your hopper.
The round is 1 mile long (1/2 mile each way). If you are going 6 mph, it takes 10 minutes to travel that mile. If you take 5 minutes to dump into the truck and make the turns, you are using 15 minutes per round. 4 rounds per hour at 4 acres per round comes to 16 acres per hour. If you want to get a little closer, reduce by the 30 header/2 rod (33) which is a little less than 10% so the 16 acres would be 14.5 acres.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
