[QUOTE="jellybean, post: 8259085, member: 6502"] Not disputing this story but just trying out the figures for fun. 900 acres is a square 2087 yards x 2087. Supposing the man was really seeding by hand, not a hand held spinner, would he do 4 yard bouts? If so that would be 521 passes up the field. Could he do 4mph all day? He has to cover 618 miles so that's 15 days of 10 hours with no breaks. Maybe the weather was perfect and they had plenty of time but it will still be a hell of a feat! And I haven't allowed anything for picking up more seed every time he runs out or how far he has to go to get a refill. I reckon he needs a whole team supporting him. [/QUOTE]
