Field Work Rate
Area a farm machine covers per hour. Theoretical capacity is working width times speed; field efficiency accounts for turns, filling and adjustments.

METHOD
How it is calculated
Theoretical [da/h] = v [km/h] · b [m] (1 da = 1000 m²) Effective = Theoretical · η_field Time = Area / Effective
ASSUMPTIONS & NOTES
- Typical field efficiencies: plough 75–85 %, seed drill 65–75 %, sprayer 55–70 %, combine 65–80 %.
Results are for preliminary design and checking; base the final design on the governing standard and safety factors.
