More than likely I'll loose power in the winter but it'd be nice to be able to run everything. I'll definitely try and get a soft start kit on the ac. Once I get caught up on some other projects I might look into a more efficient water heater

Not my dump trucks I just get paid to run them. Also I'm not sure a half track can haul 40 tons of material. We drove the trucks to the next job because it was only 5 miles away and the heavy haul truck was down

I spent a good portion of my career so far on the civilian side in mining and mass excavation. I wouldn't spend the money on one of those rock trucks unless I had a bunch of dirt to move. Speaking from experience you don't want to drive that monster down public roads. We drove them around 5...

There's a few local restaurants in my area that I know the owners and would be willing to let me take as much oil as I want because they're paying to get rid of it. The biodiesel dilemma is more of trying to find time and space to do it. Granted if I get a MEP or 2 I'll probably get into...

I'm running into the same problem with waste oil and I hate having to use electric heat. Also I throw in some pictures of the machines I've put some hours in. Volvo 750e excavator, Volvo a45g fs rock truck, and a cat d8t. Currently I'm running a hydrovac truck but don't have a good picture of it yet

963s are good rigs. You don't need a 973 they're too heavy for anything other than quarry work. I ran one clearing and it gets stuck easily. My big thing is I've got a few different farms so stuff tends to live there. Plus I have jobsites that stuff tends to live there. I'm also kicking around...

Is that a 953? I'm not opposed to doing some electrical work and if I have to dig a ditch I can handle it. I've thought about the engine driven welder but like the tractor the likelihood of it being home when an outage happens isn't great. The fuel isn't much of an issue because I can have about...

I've got a few different farms spread out and rarely ever is there a tractor at the house so the pto generator is pretty much useless. Plus the old tractors I have are probably going to be louder than a MEP

So what MEP would work for my situation? Also how about I leave the electrical to you and you leave the dirt work to me?

Copper was just the first thing to come to mind since a lot of the old water service lines I'm finding are getting replaced with Copper. I'm not opposed to replacing the water heater down the road but currently I'm in the process of replacing the roof of the house and remodeling the master...

The ac isn't a have to have it'd be nice though but power loss in my area is more likely in the winter. The water heater I'd hate to have to replace but I've been kicking around running some copper lines near my wood furnace in the basement and plumb it in before the water heater

@Light in the Dark @MatthewWBailey I've got attached pictures of the data tags for my well pump, hot water heater, and ac unit. I also forgot to mention I have 2 upright freezers, 2 fridges, and a large chest freezer that I'd like to keep running. The ac unit would be nice to keep running in the...

I can't remember what generator we used to use when I was in the army but I remember setting it up I was a 12N in a sapper company and we got saddled with a lot of the non sapper stuff. I'll look up the info on the well, water heater, and the ac. I know my well is about 400 ft deep

Probably just 2 burners and the oven plus the well. Depending on the time of year maybe the ac. Usually once a year 1 to 5 days. Worst case a week to 10 days. I'd like to be able to at least be able to use the oven, well, hot water heater and the ac in the summer. I've thought about the pto...

I have similar questions. To go through 1 through 4 I have a wood furnace central ac an electric stove and a well. I'm looking at a military generator specifically because of it being diesel powered. My reasoning for that is because I'm a farmer and heavy equipment operator and there's always...
