At 10 km/h with a 3 m implement and 10% overlap, coverage is 2.7 hectares per hour. Covering 5.4 hectares takes 2 hours of continuous travel.

Area per hour = speed × width × (1 − overlap); moving time = area / coverage rate

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Width, speed, area, coverage rate and moving time are positive. Overlap ranges from zero up to, but not including, 100%.
The overlap adjustment accounts only for repeated width. Turning, refilling, travel between fields, maintenance and other delays are excluded.
This is a continuous-coverage estimate, not a complete effective field-capacity model. Add operation-specific delays separately for scheduling.
An acre uses the international foot definition. The soccer-pitch option assumes 7,140 m² and is an illustrative area, not a universal pitch size.

The result includes moving coverage only. Turns, obstacles, stops, refills and changing operating conditions add time.

Ten percent of the implement width repeats an already covered strip, so the model uses 90% of the entered width as productive coverage.

The international acre is exactly 43560 square international feet; Bookify replaces the rounded captured area factor.
