Thanks. It's an addiction, running those Cats. that Boulder is/was in the way of the trench for the solar feed and I cant go the other way. I thought it was a typical 3-4 footer but no. So I was determined. It was good practice to figure out how to move it. I'm somewhat remote and no one...

You're hired. That is some pig iron. That 6x6 makes me drool. A bucket list item is me driving to DMV with that and requesting plates, as an RV. The DMV dragon lady will pass out.

You started this mess!🤣. That siren should be the start and stop signal for all future threads lol

I've learned to appreciate the middle ground from this 963 lol. Never stuck, even driving thru a pond, and has the power to move rocks bigger than it. I'd like a waste oil furnace as well. No one is taking the used motor oil anymore. When run at temp, those are great heating sources with...

Yes I hear that. Tools get used and betrothed to projects. Despite the trash talk I've given them on here, the MEPs are plentiful and lots of knowledge-base on here to support them. Cheap too. Those are major plus'. Gov Planet seems to have them in droves. That's a 963 from '86. I was...

Yes that's a plan lol. But I love my track loader! No one drives that but me. And I have 3000 hours of backhoe operating time. Digging electrical trenches requires exacting skill💪. See my fleet attached.. Im no expert on military gens. I had a small 3kw MEP unit awhile back. Worked fine...

That'd be great if you can just auger. Drilling still makes for lots of hand digging. I can't auger at all. Had a big one on the backhoe, tried it and it's useless in this Rocky stuff. I really use those LEDs religiously as they tell you when you're about to jam. It's odd, the harder the...

If you like that, you'll love these... https://youtube.com/shorts/eSTx05sDxwI?feature=shared https://youtube.com/shorts/V1IpysneJic?feature=shared Luckily, there's no granite here, but it's virgin mountain ground, so lots of basalt. Impossible to dig a hole that isn't the size of a car due to...

I agree with your post. What you said above is what no one else does, MAINTAIN. You're doing the functions of the warranty on those turnkey house gensets. So that's the key element. Lesson learned: My friend in Yardley PA shit his pants during Sandy. Called me daily complaining about the...

I would add those 3 units this way: 1/2hp well - 3kw starting 1kw run (depends on depth) HWH - 4.5kw start and run AC - 63*208=13kw start (LRA on a motor is given at the lower voltage when calculating wattage fyi). 15.2A total running = 3kw Total start: 20.5kw. Total run: 8.5kw (non...

Yes very nice indeed. The 3% freq is pushing the limit for some appliances. That's 1.8hz plus or minus which is greater than the utility tolerance. Some swamp coolers like BreezeAire for example, require a 0.5 hz tolerance bc they're using a speed control, and shut down if there's a higher...

So, there are diesel powered house getsets, but yes more expensive. yes, get the HP of your well pump and get the starting VA or starting amperage from the chart orI can look it up. It's super easy to look it up. @Light in the Dark is right, the fact is that loads typically don't coordinate so...

The guys on here would have the MEP lists. I actually do solar all over the county as a PE. 33states. Once you move, let me know and I'll connect you with a solar integrator that can help you. I'm in a remote area so have to build my own. I'm putting in 17kW ground mount with a modest battery...

Those are 2 totally different applications. Your house is 240/120 1phase. As a PE in your state, I'd recommend a nat gas or propane duel fuel unit. ie Gas/propane. There are a few different makes out there that are totally enclosed. Generac and Westinghouse are good newer brands with...
