New Bedford 3-4332 speeds, such as hours per acre. T\^o Points Stand Out Two points stand out from the data. First, the machine harvests an acre almost at a constant rate, regardless of yield. This means an acre under normal conditions, not with wet or frosted berries or extra long, heavy uprights. The normal rate seemed to be about ten hours for a machine to harvest an acre. The range was from hours to 20 hours. Barrels har- vested per hour per machine var- ied from to 18. The yield is important in determining this fig- ure, e. g'., ten hours to harvest an a?re yieldiiig 75 barrels would mean barrels per hour. The second point which stands out is the ad- \ antage in barrels per hour for the machine against hand scooping. Over a short neriod of time and on heavily yielding bogs a hand scoop- er might keep pace with the ma- chine, but the human being tires and the machine can continue at its nearly consistent rate. Even the lowest figure for the machine, â¢".6 barrels per hour, is nearly two and one-half times the barrels per h'ur commonly expected from hand rcoopers. Tirnslated into dollars at last year's rental figure of §2 an hour, n machini^ hired for ten hours, or P2'^. should harvest a bog yielding â ''â barrels, adding gas at 5 cents an hour or 50 cents, and an oper- ator at $ an ho
