Any word on how White Owl Parts is fairing? They're near the Neuse river in Kinston NC, and I read water levels are still cresting. https://abc11.com/kinston-residents-keep-watchful-eye-on-rising-neuse-river/4296557/

Great points, I've read a lot of tractor forum threads that say you can run larger generators at lower KW output with undersized HP. The general rule is you need 2 HP for every Kilowatt you're trying to produce. Example: a tractor with 30 HP at the PTO matches up nicely to a 15KW generator...

My Yanmar LX manual doesn't mention a low oil pressure kill, just the warning light, its a 2012 Tier 3 engine model. There's a lot of poorly maintained tractors out there, so I'm going to believe failures do happen. However, I would believe for anyone who takes cares of their equipment like...

1 gal per hour is respectable for a 15KW generator. I do not need to run it full time, just to run the well pump, oil boiler, cook meals, wash and dry clothes, etc. The fridge I kept cold 24/7 by using solar panels on the M109 by day and a 2000 watt gas inverter generator at night. Actual...

I think I have some of those same solar panels attached to the roof of my M109, I can vouch that they're good for 50mph. LOL! I found more info about that camera that might of some interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frying_Pan_Shoals_Light http://www.fptower.com/

About a gallon per hour at PTO speed @2500 RPM. Note, this is not a long stroke diesel, the bore/stroke ratio is close to 1:1. 88mm bore, 90mm stroke. Yanmar diesel reliability is pretty darn good, you guys aren't scaring me.

I don't have a mil generator, I have a 15KW PTO generator running off a 45hp Yanmar tractor. The fuel fill is about neck level which made lifting jerry cans a bit cumbersome.

I'm filling up my 55 gal diesel drum today. Lifting 5 gallon cans got old when I lost power for 5 days after a fierce windstorm in the northeast last fall. I added the drum and a pump after that outage. Each major storm teaches me to get a little better about preparedness.
