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.
