8000 is heavier (bigger) than 3 tons, regardless of what you mean by "tons".

There are in the US three different kinds of "ton". There's the "short ton," which is 20 short (or net) hundredweight (2000 pounds), the "long ton", which is 20 long (or gross) hundredweight (2240 pounds), and the "metric ton", which is 1000 kg (slightly less than a long ton).

Using the heaviest of these (the long ton), 3 tons would be 6720 pounds, clearly less than 8000 pounds.
