Are we getting ripped off by John Deere? Some time ago, I noticed that my John Deere suitcase weights were stamped 20kg/40lb. Well, I don't remember much from school, but I do recall that one kilogram wasn't exactly equal to two pounds. The most commonly accepted ratio is 1 kg = 2.2 lbs. However, I'm going to use a slightly more accurate version of 1 kg = 2.205 lbs. So, 20 kg is equal to 44.1 lbs.
And, 40 lb is equal to 18.14 kg.
The weight test results are below and the main thing to keep in mind is that this is just for fun! This is not a certified scale, I have no controls in place, I simply grabbed the weights and weighed! I found the results interesting and I hope you do too!
