Most people just make it up. lol Just like fishermen. I've heard of a lot of 50# coons and 70# flatheads but I haven't seen many on a good scale. laugh

I use a Berkley 50# digital fish scale for weighing fish, animals, packages for shipping, etc...

I purchased this one last year
https://www.amazon.com/Hanging-Digital-Electronic-Weighing-Accurate/dp/B07P7Y6XF1/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=660%2Bpound%2Bscale&qid=1639199489&sr=8-7&th=1

it seems to work fine I did go to a different clip on the bottom , from the hardware store

I use an old hanging cotton scale that my dad bought back in the 50's.

Get a legal for trade scale!

Then you can buy and sell!

HME makes a good scale you can get pretty cheap. Goes to like 880lbs. I'd watch for it on Camofire, they come on there all the time. Saw some at Sportsman's yesterday too.

I have no experience here but an Amish gentleman handed me a catalog last weekend for this place that markets to Amish. I don't know if any good, but they have a lot of scales. I can scan in that page if you need it.

Address matches the catalog I have...

Address: 375 Old Dam Rd, Christiana, PA 17509
Phone: (610) 593-5193


They might need to send you a catalog. I don't think the Amish shop online. Not cheap either. Just an idea I thought I would share since I thought about it.

I use this one. It's been holding up well for several years. The batteries last pretty long despite being in my freezing fir shed.

Batteries?

I use a Hanson Viking scale for my hay bales. No batteries needed.

Find them on ebay.

Theres a nearly endless supply of affordable scales that are “close enough”. They’re reasonably close but can’t be calibrated.
If you’re looking for a good quality scale, one of the very few digital scales that can be legally calibrated is the Salter Brecknell Electro Sampson. Theres a few sizes.
