Errol,

3360 kg = 7407.5 lbs = 3.3 ton
2860 kg = 6305.2 lbs = 2.8 ton
446 kg = 983.3 lbs = 0.4 ton

All approximate and if my failing memory serves me right ( 2240 lbs = 1 ton )

Regards


Al

Errol - a handy thing to remember is that one metric tonne is very nearly the same as an Imperial (English) ton - so 3360Kg will be 3.36 English tons and 1000Kg = 1 metric tonne - easy :)

Hey Errol & Jan,
Good to see you made it back to york, complete with tray top!!!
we had to wait a week in birdsville for the rims too arrive (only 3 could fit on the first mail run!!)
Finally moved north and we are now relaxing in cairns for a week or so.
Keep us posted with the tray mods

kg to tonne (metric) divide by 1000
2204.6 lb to tonne (metric)
2240 lb to ton (imperial)

There is no such thing as a "metric" mandarine but there is an imperial mandarine.
You can't measure peoples performance by "imperials", only metrics.

Go figure..............
