A good half day I'd say

8 acres took the best part of 4 hours so I'd say about half a day is not far out.

I would have thought 5 or 6 hours, depending.

Best I ever managed with PZ165 mower, was 1 acre in 23 minutes. Perfectly flat field, and in High fourth in a Nuffield 10/60

So should be possible to cut 10 acres in less than 4 hours.

but if the land is hilly or you stop for a flask of tea or interuptions / phone or if there are odd obstacles. I always like to overestimate a job like that. Then if I get it done slightly quicker, I feel better.

You should average 2 acres to the hour, give or take. If it's not to rough you can fairly motor with them.

2 acres an hour is about the run of a 5ft6 mower so 5 hours going well you should be done..

Provided you have at least 60 hp in front of it you should average 3 acres an hour, thats what I can manage here, and 4 acres / hour topping

about 2 acres an hour in good going

Well to cut it you will have to drive a bit over 24km in length so at say 6km/hr it'll take 4hourd to cut it but then you need to add on the time for turning around extra on top of that
