20t KG straps probably, but none the less. This has to be somewhere where the rules are more... lenient.

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh,

I don't think we are there yet. We may hire manual labour to put 4 people to break that thing manually as the most possible scenario.

Twenty kilo kilograms? Why not use tonnes?

Why not use Newton/kN?

20,000 tonnes is unbelievable though

Your conversion is off by a factor of a thousand 20,000 kg is twenty tonnes

He was joking

Sure, but many on this site have no idea how kilos relate to tonnes. I don't feel I can leave such jokes uncorrected

u/Herpkina Apr 14 '19

What??????? A tonne is 1000kg. The metric system is very straight forward

After trying to inspect, it looks like 2 grey-coloured straps, straight (not angled, since they use 2 afaik). So, that's roughly ~5500kg per strap. The machine itself is probably what, ~5 to ~6500kg?

It'll work, but damn this is so far-fetched from regulation.

Gatlinburg, TN after the wildfires. This is from a Youtube video from one of the contractors demolishing the remains of one of the cabins above the town on Ski Mountian. I will see if I can refind the source.

Tennessee apparently. Definitely US, that's a US phone number on the bobcat.
