A kiloyard (kyd) is a non-SI unit equal to 1,000 yards, which translates to 914.4 metres using the international yard.

What does the US survey furlong represent?

The US survey furlong is a historical unit of length equal to 660 US survey feet or about 201.1684 metres, traditionally used in US land surveying.

Why convert kiloyards to furlongs?

Conversions help interpret older land measurements, legal descriptions, and customary race distances that use these yard-based and US customary units.
