I am going to say 300 ish lbs. I can toss it around, but it's not easy to do. Of course @wdh has a theory as to that.  :D.
It helps when your arms are longer than your legs ;D.

Thanks SS. I have to think about how I feel having that hang over my head about 12' up. ;D It sounds like we should be able to fetch this home with a 6' pickup bed with the tailgate down I suppose. If we took a bigger truck, I am afraid Bill might fill it with with other stuff he finds at WM. :D We'll pick a slow work period or lousy weather day and run up to fetch it. It's a 7 hour round trip for us.

Stavebuyer the dedicated re-saws I do not believe will make tapered siding and that is our intent here. Should this develop further, it might turn into something different. Right now there are a lot of requests for tapered siding and this drove the decision. We have a long way to go yet in setting up the facilities with limited labor hours available, so it's baby steps.

Kind of a moot point for you guys since you already made a purchase; but for others benefit the WM HR series stand-alone Resaws will tilt to make tapered siding and the 16" capacity between guides makes it possible to do things like reclaim boards from slabs that most compact resaws can't.
