Wet saw weights

[Pablo26]

After work just about every day, cutting lots of eukalyptus, great stuff if you can give it a couple of years to bake in the sun, which I can.They bring out the pre-school kids to watch the chips fly and cut suvineer heart shaped wood for cute tourists from Denver. 100% free wood heat here, all nicely seasoned hardwoods. (Lots of 2 year oak next year, get another whole summer) Some exotic hardwood for a bowl making friend, all the rest cut up in a jiffy for the townsfolk without saw to will take some free wood if I cut it up, Lots of new trees every day now, it's crazy.

6' 5", 245 lbs. Big saws with long bars that weigh over 25 pounds ain't no prob here.

Now that's strange, cause I'm also about 245 lbs., but I do pay a lot of attention on saw weights. Oh wait, I'm 5' 7"...

But we do look like we could be twins in the avatars, right..?

Myself.. I am not.

Maybe thats why Im curious as to how much saws weigh... :help:

As in... a 460 might be 18% my body weight.

....
357xp 20" bar 8.18 kg
....
Stihl ms290 18" bar 8.17 kg
....
I was a little surprised that the 290 and 357 were so close,the 357 always felt a little lighter to me,guess not

According to test reports by KWF and DLG, they both weights more than adverticed - .4 and .2 kg, respectively......
Empty, without bar and chain, that is.

Two inches of bar and chain make some difference, and Stihl Rollomatic E bars are a good bit lighter than Oregon/Husky bars.......
