Total Weight of MS 661 VS Husky 562 VS MS 441 with all liquids

[farmerdoug]

It appears that the 661 is 18.4 lbs with all fluids and no bar and chain. I don't know what length bar, but the other thread attributed the bar and chain to 3.5 lbs with a total weight of 22 lbs.

562xp filled with 24" techlite bar and chain 18.6 lbs

Looks like it is only 3.5 lbs to go from a 60cc saw to a 90 cc saw.

Thinking about having the 562xp and 661 M Tronic. I know one is Stihl and one Husky. I like them both.

Anyone know the weight of a 441 filled with fluids, bar and chain?

Don't know but can tell you 3.5# is a lot of difference. Steve

You need to focus on empty PHO weights. That is a baseline number that can be compared. Adding fuel, oil, bars, and chains makes the numbers moot.

BTW, a 441 weighs 15lbs, dry PHO.

 

[HuskStihl]

Sounds like a good 2-saw plan!

As said above empty weights count.
eg
the strattos saws 441c are better on fuel so have smaller fuel capacities

 

[sunfish]

PHO dry weight is around 5 lbs difference.

Why not ready to cut with the same length bar, that's what you will be carrying around. Steve

 

[nmurph]

Why not a number that doesn't vary??????? Every B/C combo is a different weight unless they are the same brand, and once you start running the saw, that "walk around" weight starts changing.

According to the Stihl.de website, the 661 cm has 7.3 hp and the PH dry weight is 7.4 Kg. The conversion is 0.454 Kg/Lb, so it weighs 16.3 lb.

So, my converter tells me the real-world weight is pushing 17lbs.

36 oz of fluid is a touch over 2 lbs of fluids.

I don't believe there is a 24in. Techlite bar. I think they are available in 20in. & 28in. only.

techlite

I may be wrong; but I didn't know they make 24" techlite bar. Steve

They don't....they only make 20" and 28" Techlite bar

At the end of a 14hr day 3 lbs will mean the difference between just feeling tired and being stiff and sore. I never trust the manufacturers claimed weight. They do all kinds of funny things like remove clutch covers etc to be able to advertise a lower weight.

They don't even bother removing stuff. They just lie. Marketing: how to make people buy stuff they don't need and how to lie without being sued...too often...

at the end or the day, 5 lbs is even worse. :msp_wink:

At the end of a 14 hr day, wouldn't a 50% increase in engine size and power allow you to cut 50% more wood? Seems like 20% more weight would be worth it. I know, I know, the amount of wood cut is dependent on conditions, but if you're in wood large enough for a MS 661 C-M with 28" ES LIGHT, I can't see how a 562 XPAT would even be in the same conversation.
