What's with the weights on the last two lines?

Hi, Josh.
I suspect that those last 2 lines might relate to what is known as 'cubic tonnage' which, IF my understanding is correct, is based on a nominal formula for the weight that can be transported in a given cubic space - as opposed to an irregular space. IF I am right, they have probably taken the length, width and lowest height, 'cubed' them and calculated a nominal weight based on that calculation.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
The actual weight is 14,678 lbs. The measurement tons (volume used for freight calculations, not mass) is 15 tons.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
