you might have half a cube there at a push

John is correct.......these bags are sold with 1 tonne of sand in them.....1 cubic metre of sand weighs in at 1.7 tonnes therefore the bags hold 0.68 cubic metres. if u fill them with ash allowing for air spaces 0.5 cubic metres of wood which is about 300kg

Yes the payload of a transit is poor, the grave digger at work got pulled and was over weight on the back axel.

So we have spent sometime at the way bridge, as I see it you are lucky to be able to carry 900kg If u want to carry kit as well. With two guys and all our kit and a full tank of diesel we weighed 2350kg.

It is far to easy to over load a 3.5 ton truck:thumbdown:

 

That fits in with mine..I was 2200 kg odd tare normally, and I'm sure I used to get out for the weigh... and no tools, either..so that left 1.3 tons for me and everything else, assuming it could be loaded without going overweight on an axle. It was a tipper, and it had a twin rear axle.
