Why is this harvest taking so long?

Estimate field capacity, then account for turns, unloading and travel.

A powerful engine does not guarantee a fast harvest. Start with working width and speed: width in metres multiplied by speed in kilometres per hour, divided by ten, gives theoretical hectares per hour.

Use the work-time calculator to apply an efficiency assumption for overlap and turns, then add unloading and travel time. This is a planning estimate, not a verified game formula for contract duration.

For green beans, open the crop reference and OXBO BP2140e equipment page to check the verified harvesting link. Transfer its recorded working width and speed to the calculator, then adjust them to your configuration and field.
