To achieve 25 acres per hour with your 15 foot head you would have to run non stop, as in never pick the head up and turn around, at 14 mph. You might be streaching the productivity just a bit.
Only in the best of fields do we average 40 acres per hour with a 30’ cut, mowing 14.5 mph. Machine lifetime average is right at 32 acres per hour.
Don't know but ok maybe 20 or so but I run around 12 or 13mph.
