Hi Travis,
well, it weighs a lot :-) In fact, it’s something about 850 to 900
kilograms. The metric ton is 1000kg, but if I’m right, the imperial unit
“ton” should be a little bit more than 900kg (2000lbs).
|
Actually I’m pretty sure an imperial ton is 2240lbs, but it’s still a
remarkable MOC.
|
A US ton is 2000 lbs.
|
Yeah that’s just a bit more confusion that imperial measures brought us. It’s
all explained here. Good think all the sensible countries are moving to metric ;)

And it's telling that no country in the world has voluntarily undergone the metrication (...) (15 years ago, 7-Jun-09, to lugnet.boats, FTX)
