I have this 6-1 setup. I'm moving this setup via truck and need to guess what the weight is. I don't have any method to actually weigh it prior to loading it up in the truck next week.
Thoughts?

If it's similar in weight to my 12/1 - allow 450 for engine, 40 genhead, 50 base and wheels, plus extra 100 leeway for starter/fans/accessories.... about 650kg at a "zero based stochastic estimate"..... unless the tyres are filled with helium, then it will be weigh less.....

I saw this generator on you tube at least I think it was this one I was salivating!

I have a similar set-up that I've had to move around, load/un-load, etc. The engine weighs around 600 Lbs., the Generator head around 300 Lbs. and the rest around 250 lbs. - so total around1150 - 1200 lbs. Won't miss it by far! ---- Charlie

I'm thinking a peek at the truck might be interesting.

Tires are filled with water.

Chris,
Drive each tire, one at a time, over a bathroom #300 scale. If lucky, you wont break the scale and you will obtain four (4) weight measurements which could be added together to get a total.
