    Q: For weighing lysimeter, assuming in good maintenance, how long normally will it need
    intensive /major maintenance, such as replacing scales or similar work that requires lots of labor?

    Depending on the type of instrumentation you put into the lysimeter, you can expect it to be atleast 3 to 5 years before there is any maintenance required that is going to be labor intensive. The load cells should last a very long time, especially if precautions are taken to prevent the load cells from being overloaded.
