Chainsaw weights

[Gagliano7]

I have 4 chainsaws and weighed them all today full of oil and fuel.

Stihl 025-18 inch bar 13.4 LBS

Echo CS-4910-20 inch bar 14.6 LBS

Stihl 261 C-M-20 inch bar 14.8 LBS

Echo CS-590-20 inch bar 18 Lbs

I did weigh the Echo CS-4910 out of the box 13.4 LBS. Just figured i would share my info.

There's a thread on here with a good number of saw weights posted... Google will probably find it better than the search function

Out of the box and how to get that weight shown? PHO FULL both tanks or what? No bar and chain?

Out of box PHO dry

Echo 501 FULL both tanks and 18" laminated bar with 325 050 chain.

My scale dead on with my 2 local USPS scales.

NE 346 FULL both tanks with 18" laminated bar with 325 050 chain

Out of the box dry with 20 inch bar and chain for Echo CS-4910. All other saws are old so I never did get their weight out of the box. All saws weighed full of gas and oil.

I was just giving my numbers all on the same scale. Also all saws were cleaned before weighing. Except the Echo CS-4910 because it was new.

Not best way to measure weight with fluids in them, cause it could depend if your using light or heavy chain oil

 

[Gagliano7]

Just normal Lowes chain oil.

Don't trust digital scales without proper and often calibration, and never trust USPS. They have went to hell in past 40 years.

For reloading, I use an Ohaus triple beam, and have a high grade Ohaus calibration weight set.

At work I used scales that measured micrograms , accurately. Volumes in microliters, Used to do analytic chemistry........I calibrated them.

I've not been on a bathroom scale in a while, but at the doctors office (not sure if ever calibrated), my weight varies with my shoes/boots........

That said, an unknown scale is a good comparison, if a saw is weighed ~ 3 times and weights agree with each other. Then compare the other saws.

If you have an accurate way to measure a volume of water (volumetric cylinder or flask), you can calibrate a scale with a known volume of water. Calibration is only as accurate as the measured volume. At 25 oC 1.0-mL of water weighs 1.0 grams. Temperature of the water is important.

946-mL per quart, 3784mL/gallon. 3784g water/gallon of water. 2.2 Lbs/ Kilo. 1000g/kilo.

Well mine is checked with 2 at 2 different locations, USPS scales yo-yo and right with theirs as used for shipping USPS UPS Fedex packages. yo-yo. Long as my 2 USPS places scales jive with mine all I care about.

But blah blah blah carry on yo-yo
