I was cleaning my saws today and I thought I would pull out the scales.
I got on the net to see what a gallon of whole milk weighed, (8.6lb) and checked the scales. Yep the milk is 8.6lb.
First off was the Shindaiwa 488 no gas/oil no bar/chain = 11.0 lb
Oil/Gas topped off, Oregon 16’’ bar sporting new 20LP chain, that came in at 15.0 lb
Next was the PS7900 Dolmar EHP no gas/oil no bar/chain = 14.8 lb
Oil/Gas topped off, GB 20’’PRO-CUT bar sporting new 72LGX chain, came in at 19.8 lb
Didn’t bother putting the 32’’ bar/chain on. Too heavy unless really needed I do like the 20’’ though, it just feels right with this bar and a 8 pin.
I was surprised that the Shin weighed in at 15 lbs ready to cut, because it feels 10.0 lb lighter than the Dolmar.
I would like to know what the ready to cut weight comes in at on your saws.
For some reason my saws don’t cut very well at there advertised weight.
