The Unofficial Chainsaw Weight Thread

Does anyone have a pic of the MS660 weight? Thanks.

 

[MacLaren]

Here's the 460 modified mark weighed on the same scales as his 7900.

Oops I missed the 046 picture earlier.

Well, that makes me feel better about my 681. It has more cc's and hp and is still lighter than the 460.
681= 15.7

Did it have a heart attack from being over weight or what lol!

The scale died for unknown reasons. A 660 was around 17 lbs with 3/4 wrap I think.

Really? Then I would imagine the flush cut I have is dead on w/specs. Spec has it at 16.5 Pretty cool then.

It's not about being perfect. It's about being close to the actual weights. As we all know, factory weight specs are often not terribly close to the actual product they produce. Even so, an ounce here or there on a decent scale make little difference when some factory specs are 16oz or more off!

Anywho, I am back in Dorset UK and back into forestry work. I'll post pics and vids when I get the chance.

Even that isn't really good enough, the saws have to be unused as well, and sans anything like dawgs and such. The scale need to be the same one, and one that is approved for trade.

A digital scale will look like it is very accurate, but that may very well be an illution!

SO let's see the photos of it on a scale then...

 

[teatersroad]

hard to worry too much about an ounce here or there on a saw when I'm twenty pounds overweight myself.

..........You dont believe me wyk? I will show ya then.... and for the record the Solo 681 is 80.7cc and 6.4 hp and yes, weighs 15.7 lbs. Comapred to the MS460 77cc and 6.0 hp @15.10 lbs

Wrong! 14.12 is what the 046 weighs on the same scales as the rest of the saws in this thread is what I seen. Can't go by a saw that does'nt look all that clean on a scale that is on the other side of the country from the scales in this thread. Also if 15.7 is what your 681 weighs then it's more than that 064 on these scales which is more cc and hp than your 681.:hmm3grin2orange:

Wyk

Just check out post#85 by Andyshine#77 on the thread "Got the Dolmars Out"

You will see the Solo 681 weighs 15.7 lbs.

You're looking at the wrong scales for comparing in this thread...14.12 is what it weighs on the same scales as the rest of the saws in this thread.

Were talkin about a MS460. It plainly weighs 15.10 lbs.

Not hardly. The MS460 is 15.10 lbs.

Why would the weight be different between the 046 and 460? Same saw. I have both but no electronic scale to weigh.

I believe every saw that went from the 0 series to the MS series gained weight.

 

[mdavlee]

I don't know why the 460 weighs more than the 046. The 7900s weight is within an ounce of nmurphs scales and the 460 had a brand new tank put on it so no fuel has ever been put in it. Put yours on any scales and see if they come up the same.

I'm not tryin to be an azz man. It just is what it is.

 

[mdavlee]

It has me curious to see if they are different. I know I had an 044, 440, 2 460s, 2 7900s, and a 390xp at the same time and the 460 with full wrap and the 390 were within a lb when full of fluids and the same b/c. The 10mm 044 was the lightest 70cc saw I ever owned. I didn't have a small scale at the time so no weights with pictures.

To be honest IMO anyways, its pretty much always been known that the 460 weighs quite a bit more than the 046. As to why it gained so much more I dont know. Just sayin, its no shock the 460 is heavy compared to 046 and other saws close to its specs such as the 681 and 372XPW and the 7900 and the 7300
And thats nothing against the 460 IMO as everyone knows its a great saw. But when talkin about specific weights, it just is what it is.
