3.4mph with a 15’ cutter is about 6 acres/hr if my math is right and there is zero overlap while cutting. By the time you got done with 1000 acres it’d be time to start over again...
BTDT.
But there's turning time involved. And trees. And as you mentioned, overlap. (you want a decent overlap)
On avg, I feel lucky to get 30 acres a day.
Even using both tractors, that puts over 16 days shredding on the calendar.
Nah... they don't shred a pasture like you'd mow the lawn... when the grass gets high. You just cut them once a year to keep brush controlled, and let the grass come up, and give better access to the grass for grazing.
I do have a couple of places that want me to cut it twice a year though.
