@dieselspanner:
Your shipping costs will most likely be calculated on volume rather than weight. That said, I shipped a 6/1 Startomatic last year (oops, in 2013)
It was measured at 2.032 CBM and gross weight of 800Kg. I did pay according to volume, shipped from Europe.
Also here is a link to a thread that shows a Lister Spec page with weights for several models, including 6/1 Starto. Scroll to bottom, courtesy of Listeroil.
http://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=6253.0The link shows net weight @ 1516 Lbs Gross weight @ 1934 Lbs. for the 6/1, 1624 and 2168 Lbs respectively for the 8/1
The Starto generator is much heavier than we are used to seeing, the generator pulley/flywheel alone weighs in at about 80 Lbs. Base is quite heavy as well. It's a serious piece of kit.
Cheers,
Hugh
