Scale Weight of Equipment

Pugs, That makes a lot more sense. I suspected that it was an exponential relationship. I bounced it off of an engineer coworker and even did a few searches on google trying to check myself prior to posting, but everything I found confirmed the original way I was thinking. So based on the proper calculations here is a chart with the correct scale weights. Please forgive my previous ignorance

Equipment, - Real Weight, - Proper 1/14 Scale Weight

Keworth W900 - approx 18,000 - 6.56
Deere 850 Excavator - 185,876 - 67.74
Cat D8n - 82,589 - 30.1
Cat 14M grader - 65,998 - 24.05
Bell 840D ADT - 65,808 - 23.98
Cat 966 -Wedico Loader - 52,254 - 19.04
Cat 963 Track Loader - 44,577 - 16.24
Cat Skid Steer - 10,730 - 3.91


So it now appears that our equipment is in the range of the proper scale weight if not sometimes a little heavy. That makes a lot more sense, thanks for correcting me.
