Pete - no promises this is accurate - From the internet - Google Search - RD-6 (acmoc post) 16,500 lbs, RD-7 25,925 lbs, 8R D8 -- 37,000 lbs - cts
Will just have to find out in Tons .. 2240 lbs to 1 ton is it !!?.
Pete --2000 pounds per ton (avoirdupois) (US) (called Short Ton)
2240 lbs per Long Ton
Hope that helps. - cts
Hi, D6 Pete.
You'll need to figure that as 2,200 pounds per TONNE. The 'figgers' that cts has given are for the American 'short-changed' short ton and the old imperial long ton.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi D6Pete. If you use CTS’s figures and go to online conversion and put the figures in you will convert lbs to any weight you like there is a long list of weights to convert it to.
Hi, D6 Pete.
The bare RD6 would come in at around 7.5 tonnes. The bare RD7 comes in at around 11.784 tonnes. The 8R D8 comes in at around 16.818 tonnes - Australian figures.
Does that help?
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

"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."
