Need real weight of this model that I'm towing now. HGR has one same model they list at 2500 lbs but this feels heavier, and another dealer listed one as 5500 lbs.?? Also there's a lifting eye threaded hole in top of frame at the CG and need to know if the thing can be lifted with an eye installed there.

My 3613-2 weighs 1400 which was an easy lift with the eye bolt up there
Thanks, not familiar with your machine, really hope mine is just super bulky and lighter than it feels. It has the hydraulic feed table, the chain thing to assist feeding, maybe that stuff makes it heavier, or maybe yours has that too. I know HGR weighs the stuff on receipt so maybe I should trust that figure?

Working load limits are impressive on quality eye bolts if that is a concern

Thanks much, got the info I needed, will use lifting eye. The seller had none and put the forks under where the eye goes, to lift it and the saw didn't seem to suffer. I once bought maybe 100 lbs. of lifting eyes from HGR, every size there is I guess and duplicates, so I'm sure there's a 3/4-10 in that bucket.
