Looks like the PS-5105 have gained even more weight than I thought, and more than the up adjusted Euro specs say. The US specs are even lower......

The weight of the 500P is as expected.

I thought everyone pretty much decided to do dry PHO.

On homeowner saws that are only sold with one size b&c to me it makes sense to have both. The B&C that comes on the 5020 is quite heavy it would be pretty easy to shave off a pound with a different bar and chain. But when you pull it out of the box what you got is what you got. Most people will use it that way. It is good to know where the weight is so you know if you have the option of doing something about it. Now I just need to delete this post and my previous one that have no weight information in it. Just taking up space.
O.K. I will play by the rules. PHO from now on

You could do both.

That was the point, to give a base line against which others could be compared. When B/C and fluids are added too many variables are introduced to make for a good direct comparison.

Anyone have the numbers on a 395xp please.

Thanks for all the very good info guys.

Allways good to have real life days. Not that I don't trust big companies but ...

They stay trust but verify

Fresh Husqvarna 460 powerhead, right out of the box, no oil or gas on board.

 

[2lumbarleft]

Here is a seldom seen addition to the unofficial chainsaw weight page. Stihl 024, 41.6cc, 10.63 pounds at the powerhead with cutting spikes in place. Saw seemed to balance best with a Stihl 16" .063 bar, but I installed a Woodland Pro .050 Narrow Kerf 16" bar and knocked .5 pounds off the saw in total weight. Saw now weighs 12.60 pounds with the new bar and chain installed. Scale was checked with a 10 pound commerce check weight. Scale was dead on, reading 10.00 and sometimes 10.01 pounds with the weight.

 

[wyk]

Just reminding folks the thread is still here. Please feel free to submit your images of PHO's on scales.

 

[Gypo Logger]

The 090G I have weighs 48# with a 48" bar.

Here is a photo of a brand new Husqvarna 455 powerhead, straight out of the box, never fueled or oiled. This is a 2012 saw that has been in storage. It is not the new Auto Tune model. Weight came in at 13.24 pounds (13 1/4 lbs). I always weigh in decimal mode, not ounces. Note a previous photo of a Husqvarna 460 model that I submitted that came in at 13.28 pounds. Both are a far cry from their published weights of 12.8 pounds, but in my experience, Husqvarna usually reports closer to the truth than some other manufacturers. Scale was checked with a commerce rated check weight. 10.00 weight showed 10.01 pounds.

Here is an Echo CS-450. It is an older model with the Kiortz 45 cc engine, but still has 170 psi of compression. I drained it of all fuel, ran it out, purged the fuel lines, and emptied the bar oil reservoir. It is no light weight, but one of my favorite saws. Limiters were removed and it was muffler modded, with the entire catalytic biscuit removed and the exhaust deflector opened up. Power increase was impressive. Cuts about the same as a Husqvarna 450 50 cc saw. Great torque, good balance, and reliable as the sun rising in the morning. It came in around 11.55 pounds. Interestingly enough, I had another brand new CS-530 50 cc powerhead that had never seen gas or oil. It came in slightly lighter at around 11.47 pounds. Both saws appear to be built on the same chassis, so the weight comparisons seem logical. Here are the photos. Scale was checked with a 10 lb scale check weight authorized for commerce.

I have a 450 that I need to fool with.
I picked it up from the scrap yard a few months ago.
