I weighed one this morning just for the heck of it. 25 pounds for the average 10 gallon. I don't know of a truck that would haul 200 cans. They were classified by what they held on the floor. Way back early on,most were 66 can boxes. 11 rows of six wide. Later on they went mostly to 72s and 78s. I had an 84. The biggest one I ever saw was a 92. The top decks would hold whatever the floor held minus three rows in the doorway. So my 84 held 150. In spring flush,we'd stack them two high in the doorway too,so there was the capacity to haul 168 if it was really necessary.
As far as the weight in the can,you have to remember,nobody stood there with a teacup topping them off. You couldn't even see the milk in the can. The strainer was on it. You'd lift the strainer before you dumped a milker in it and if it was up to the seam,you'd most likely switch to an empty,not stand there and dump a little in,wait for it to run through and dump a little more. You wanted to just dump it and get the milker back on another cow. That's why the average was 72 pounds of milk in one.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
