With out knowing how much fruit you are needing to weigh, you could try
using a large fish scale. Most go up to around 10-15 kg (with about 100g
resolution)and some even let you tare it. If the model does not have a tare
mode then you could always just do the old (total - pail/hook = fruit or
pail/hook + fruit = total) method.

What does everyone else use?

Hope this helps,

Rob
