How are pumpkins weighed?

Weighing a pumpkin the size of Gladys, at 544kg, isn't a simple task for bathroom scales! Specialist equipment, often including large industrial scales or hoists, is needed for such enormous produce. At competitions, official weigh-offs ensure accuracy and fairness, often using calibrated scales that can handle several hundred kilograms, making sure Ben's hard work is properly recorded.
