How would I convert liters to pounds? I have been trying to find a conversion but I can't find any.

you can't because litres is a volumetric figure while pounds is weight... Giants uses the two interchangeably tonnes and litres... but its not a true conversion unless the material in question has the same bulk density as water... because a litre of water is 1 kg... and therefore 1000 l = 1 tonne

So I would have to convert tonnes to pounds? So, 43000 liters is 43 tonnes, so then that would convert to 94798.80 pounds!!! We can't even carry 64,000 or more pounds on the road with a semi. The MetalTech PP20 is actually what our Brent 1282 holds (well actually the Brent 1282 holds more), converted from tonnes to pounds. *shrugs*

of water yes... but nothing else... I will leave the metric system briefly ...

water weighs +/- 62.5 lbs per cu/ft....

barley weighs 36 to 48 lbs per cu/ft... so a low end conversion would put barley at 57% of the weight of water

so in your 43,000 l calculation it would work out to 54,305 lbs of barley..

Here are some numbers to do the math with

Oh... Sorry, seems kind of confusing to me, since we don't use this system. What would 59000l be? I would think 65k.

59,000 l of barley...approx... 74,512 lbs +/-

Wow! That is a lot of grain! Thanks for doing this, I really appreciate it.

This is why I like metric. Doesn't matter what t is ... weight, volume, etc ... give a zero ... take a zero ... and you have an answer. The imperial system confuses the living stuff out of me. When I started flying I was so relieved that everything in the aviation world is based on metric except for altitude, which is measured in feet (though some areas of the world do indeed use meters for altitude).

See exactly, America is the weirdest country. Why we don't have the metric system like EVERY other country in the world, is beyond me. And why they started going metric on tires is weird, although I do like it better, but why don't we just switch completely? It would make more sense. Tires used to be in inches like on the 70's and 80's trucks, I know you guys know that. I am about to start using metric on my save game and euros, kind of getting sick of America's ways. I would like to learn more of the metric system, going to have to do some ing.

Yeah. I grew up here and still hate this system. But then again I have been all over the world and been exposed to the wonderful awesomeness that is matric. But wow ... people here (in America) get freaking defensive when I even dare to mention that metric is better than imperial. That's the problem with this place ... no one wants to actually use their skulls and learn something that actually makes sense.

"Great again" my ar**. LOL.

Related to topic ... I think some of my favorite videos to watch are actual promotional videos. I learn a LOT about the machinery we use in game, the technology behind them and their marketing strategies whilst doing so. I think the best videos as such are from Fendt and Claas, though there are a few from Case IH. I have to search for Case IH though because they post their stuff on YouTube in playlists and you have to sift through amateur "interviews" and stuff to find the actual good videos that actually show the good stuff.

Aw I remember this video. I wish we had this in FS.

Thanks to this thread I watched a guy load a tractor and a plow on the back of a trailer. He took it to a dealership and exchange it for something else then brought it back to the farm. His boss wasn't happy with it for some reason and made him take it back to the dealership and trade it out for something else though...

I also make 38k plowing field 5 on gold crest. Ty course play lol

I want one!! This is awesome!

Here we go ... a 1951 Ford 8N with a Ford flat head V8 conversion ... Awesome!

Now this is really interesting. A Early Ford commercial, 1952 I think, show casing the Latest Ford Golden Jubilee tractors. What's really interesting is that it's a window into the past showing how they farmed back then compared to today. It's well worth the watch.
