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 )

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
stephen & claire

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..............
