    MEP generator sizing for starting 10hp elec motors

    I just came in from the shop and heard on the county freq Rockwell get called out for a medical - stomach pain 20yrold. We had a medical last night at 3AM, was nice out then - just fresh snow and no wind. I'll keep your offer in mind as I get the final sizing / layout figured out as to what I...

    MEP generator sizing for starting 10hp elec motors

    Is it wrong of me to want the REC to come in with a outrageous bid on putting in the transformer and service so I have an excuse to go looking on G.L. for my second purchase??? Thanks to all for the help, I believe that the 004 15KW will be a good match for the system I'm building, and also...

    MEP generator sizing for starting 10hp elec motors

    At this point, I can't see anytime when the 10 hp fan would be running at the same time as I'm loading out (useing the smaller motors). If that day comes it's probably due to an expansion there and I'd be looking to put in grid power at that point. Two 1500 watt block heaters and a pair of...

    MEP generator sizing for starting 10hp elec motors

    I may be able to get that info from a manufacturer for the 10hp centrifugal fan this week at a trade/farm show I'm attending - otherwise right now I don't have any motors yet - this is all going to be new purchases for the project. Right now I'm just sizing the equipment on the bin and their...

    MEP generator sizing for starting 10hp elec motors

    The largest (10hp) would / can be started first and would typically run steady for a few days at a time. The smaller loads (5 or 7.5hp) would start and stop in about 15 minute time frames, but after stopping typically wouldn't start up again for at least an hour (loadout). I really don't forsee...

    MEP generator sizing for starting 10hp elec motors

    I'm evaluating getting a generator to run a grain bin that I'm putting up this summer vs having REC drop electric for me - getting a quote from them this next week I hope. Just considering the option that a GL MEP 004/005?? might be viable option to power the site instead (no recuring monthly...

    Fuel haulers / trailers / tanks ?

    Thanks for the link, voltage, and brake confirmations. I'm kind of thinking also of utilizing a 12 volt fillrite for pumping, which I've allready got on a 100 gal alum. That would simplify my spare parts & service, and give me compatibility with 12v trucks / tractors. No plans to pull down...

    Fuel haulers / trailers / tanks ?

    Thanks guys, thats starting to paint a better picture for me. So the only option for a 101 would be to mount a 100 gal civilian transfer tank like I have in my farm truck now (aluminum cube). 105 I could get a 600 gal pod in and transport it empty between farms (would figure on adding some...

    Fuel haulers / trailers / tanks ?

    New poster here, been looking around GL and wondering if you could help me search for some fuel trailer / skid options. Mainly model numbers etc for these rigs. Looking for two seperate things: first - did a M101 (A2 or A3) ever have a 100-200 gallon fuel tank option? Second, I have seen...
