Cwt to kgs

[Bald Rick]

20 [cms] sounds FAR more impressive than 8 inches. Frightens most off… or so I’ve heard. Never tried it myself but I’d be claiming 10 anyway.

Only, don’t confuse mm and cm

Just a tip ….

Inches???

 

[Courier]

Right is right, anything else is guessing.
76.2035 kgs = 11/2 cwt

But 1 1/4 cwt = 10 stone….

Well it did!! But now it’s metric

 

[Agrivator]

The acre is 10 square chains, which is actually more metric than the hectare.

And anyone who disagrees can go forth and hopefully not multiply.

The same acre is also a furlong 220 yard X a chain 22 yards = 4840 sq yards

Quick calculation, you have a 2152.78 square foot roof and you get 3.937 inches of rain, with the gutters clean , appropriately how much water would you expect in the tank if it was empty before it rained???

I wonder how many f**k ups have been created over the last 50 years multiplying / dividing everything by 2.47 ?

It'll be huge, even the difference between 2.47 and "it's about two-and-a-half" is a lot, when multiplied by many acres...over many jobs... over many seasons

It's maybe interesting to note that in metric countries, it's "normal" to assume that anyone using imperial units doesn't really care about accuracy very much, so they generally get ripped off by vendors.

Does that...






Only apply south of Gorrrrre???

Seems to be mainly either farmers who just do the same thing every year, but forget exactly what that was, or, sons taking over the reins and asking Da how much fert he put on, but of course hundredweights may as well be Swahili to the boy.
And, the odd alcoholic who phones up pee'd and gets around to business after an hour of whisky-induced smalltalk

Both my Granddad's used metrics, the one that went south of the equator probably though Neiuw Zeeland was nuts using some weird random system of measurements!!!

With my gutters, most would overflow during such a downpour.

And how many furkins does the tank hold, because without giving its capacity, it is impossible to do the calculation.

Can we ask around who still talks in 'bags'/acre.

If you have a smart phone download the free unit plus app

I’ve just tried it out of curiosity and it’s a truly horrible app. Avoid.

Standard water tank size here is 22,500 litres.
Ffs get the leaf blower to clean your gutters!!! Far canal mate.

Bags/acre???






Surely one bag/Jacinda per acre would suffice?

Our sheds are built in imperial, multiples of 15', so your roof size is unlikely

 

[CPF]

For a quick calculation
One CWT = 112lbs divide by 2.205 = 50 .8 kg
1.5 cwt = 168lbs x 2.471 =415lbs per ha divide by 2.205kg = 188.20kgs per ha.

15'??? WTF

Kenya all corn yields are in bags per acre. A bag is 90 kgs. An acre is 0.4 of a hectare for those who don't know. Combines are classed by the size of their tanks e.g. a Dominator 76 is a 35 bagger.

20,929 litres

 

[Lowland1]

For a quick calculation
One CWT = 112lbs divide by 2.240=50kg
1.5 cwt = 168lbs x 2.471 =415lbs per ha divide by 2.240kg = 185.3kgs

Isn't one hundred weight 50.8kgs though. When we changed from selling potatoes in 4 stone bags to 25 kgs we were so pleased to be putting less in a bag. Plus a metric tonne is 1000kgs or 2204.62 whilst an imperial ton is 2240 lbs or 1016.047 kgs. And the Americans are on no-one's side a hundred weight there is a hundred pounds and a ton is 2000 lbs and a gallon isn't a gallon either.
