Yup I was in FA. Had 2 15kw 400hz units for the fire control trucks and everything else was 3kw or 5kw 60hz. Pretty sure the firecontrol trucks were that old when I was in in the 80's-90's :) It was ancient stuff but it worked great, we were 2 rounds to target (usually). Unless we used...

3ph only ones are ok to use if you know what you are doing. You can get a spider box to break out the phases. Spider boxes can be expensive but well worth it if you use the generator a lot.

Just to clarify for anyone bidding on generators Any MEP generator that has a 1 in the second digit is a 400hz unit e.g. MEP-813A or MEP-113A. You want to stay away from these unless you get them for parts or you are only planning to run resistive loads such as electric heaters. Electric...

5000w at a PF of .8. Run on diesel I'd argue that they are not that low in output. 5K will run a lot of stuff, especially these. They are rated at a PF of .8 so true capacity is higher. We humans tend to want to oversize everything "more is better" and I frequently do that myself. The...

Just purchased 2 MEP-802a generators. I threw out a low bid on them not expecting to win, bur low and behold I won both :) So now one will go on my new shop and I will probably try and sell the other because I need a bigger one for the house. Even though this would work in a pinch. Both had...

I got mine from a dealer in Alabama, I also know there's one in Florida between Tampa and Orlando. I think official ratings are 35 deg continuous, 40 deg for a certain number of minutes (10?). I just know it does great on my slopes, I feel a lot safer and to me that is the reason I purchased it :)

LOL I've been to WY a few times (Buffalo) there's like 3 people in the whole state. It's no wonder you've never seen it :) (just messing around)

Fresh fuel and injector cleaner would be my next step.

I have a diesel Grasshopper ZT that is mostly trouble free. My biggest complaint is that the hydraulic filter vibrates loose and starts to drip. If I tighten it every 20 or so hours I have no problems. It's 20 years old and still runs like a top. Has a Kubota engine.

you can have a small air leak with no visible fluid. Just because its new doesn't mean you don't have a loose connection somewhere. Happens all the time, won't hurt to check

Nice but short on details :)

Look better now? :)

I have the MX-9900 as well. I am not nice to this thing and so far it has handled it fine. I have put big branches that have dragged the rpm's down on my 50hp pto but it always recovers (reverse helps :) ) I have a huge pile of dirty branches and I am now finding lots of embeded barbed wire...

What about a small tractor with a MMM Also when I was looking for a lawn tractor for the house yard both Kubota and JD had 4x4 lawn tractors in their lineup. I ended up with a zero turn and purchasing a JDM mini truck for the tasks you are describing. Lots of ways to solve this problem. I...

Yeah it's kinda weird because I'm from the NE I always wrote it as welp, which is the bilabial stop (well, welp - no, nope - yes, yep) but whelp is also a small animal, usually a puppy but can be most mammals I think. Sometimes used to insult young humans for not having experience LOL. Also...
