Mr. Sanchez used an eight-row combine with a 30-inch-row header to harvest his corn. Hetraveled 4.2 miles per hour. He had a yield of 132 bushels per acre. The harvesting efficiency of the field is 0.82. Calculate the harvesting capacity using the following formula:

HC = (S × W × EFF × Y) ÷ 8:25
Where: HC is the harvesting capacity, bu/hr.
S is the combine speed, mph.
W is the combine harvesting width, ft.
EFF is the harvesting efficiency of the field.
Y is the yield, bu/acre.


1,102 bu/hr
