how much is a tonne in pounds?1000lbs?

[allgood2000]

There are multiple different weights people can mean when they say "ton", but in the U.S. it usually means 2000 pounds.

THREE MONTHS HE WAS BACK TO WORK?!? Man, I feel horrible for missing a day of work because I had a cold.

I like this episode as to how it shows that just because you're a farmer doesn't mean you're uneducated.

Thanks for posting this allgood- I haven't seen this in at least 15 years! You're the best!

Well, when it comes to the segments involving CPR, Mouth to Mouth, and some other first-aid techniques, you may wanna consider taking courses because some of the first-aid techniques used on Rescue 911 are out-dated.

@allgood2000

And in Australia, it means 1000 kilograms. 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds, so 1 Australian tonne would be equel to 2200 pounds in the U.S.

2,000 pound bale that got to hurt this incident also happened in my area farmers trying to lift a bale with a loader. you never use a loader to lift a bale you always use a fork lift or a hay catcher be cause those bales can kill. my friend Justin landed in the hospital when bale landed on him just like that doctor. he almost died.

Aw, poor guy. Glad he made it!!

@bremzy14Travolta One "tonne" is 2000lbs. A US metric ton (not tonne) on the other hand is 2204lbs. In the UK, a "tonne" is a weight of 2240lbs. In the context of this video, being a US production, they're likely defining half a tonne as 1000lbs (where 1 tonne in in respect to your question would be defined by 2000lbs).

A small bale of straw nearly landed on an 8year old, until I jumped in the way and shoulder barge it. And that hurt enough!
