Niiiiiiiiice

 

These are from another site...

"...all saws were emptied (oil tank flushed with mix) and the tanks blown dry. I also cleaned bw the CC and tanks with air."


MS461

 

Thanks for posting, very interesting. I've always wondered what my Makita weighed, there's so many conflicting weights out there. Good to see that 7900 on the scale, now I know.

 

I always hate the weigh scale posts on other sites. Who cares what it weighs empty, no bar oil or no B/C... That doesn't tell you much, especially when each manufacture holds different amout of fluids. I don't take a Powhead to the woods and expect to cut anything without a bar, chain, fuel, or oil. Not unless its a MS362. SO like I said, in the real world the 365 and 372 old or new are the same weight. If 3 ounces make a difference to you or you can tell 3 ounces, then you have bigger issues than needing a new saw.

 

Thats usually the same thing I say when I see empty weights as well ! Give me "usable" weight..now we are talkin

 

Meh, the empty weight evens the playing field on specs. It's pretty typical to see that listed with a lot of things running by motor. I've heard older guys say they only fill up the bar oil and fuel tanks half way to save weight on their saws too. And my Dolkita sure has a different weight when the 20" bar is on it vs the 28".

Did the awesome ms362!!!! break everyone's scales?

 

I'll take My Makita 6401 converted to the 79cc to the woods everytime don't leave home without it.

 

It's perfectly accurate to calculated loaded weight from dry weight and tank capacities. I'll happily take dry weight, IF it's an accurate number.

A fluid ounce of fuel weighs around .05 lb. A fluid ounce of oil weighs around .06 lb. With a dry weight you can figure the weight with tanks half-full, completely full, etc.
