    Harbor Freight PTO generator noise

    Umm, I don't know. I would make contact and ask. Usually a 4-poll genhead is a major selling point. Say you go to the Baumalight PTO website, they list 2-pole units, and 4-pole units. 4-pole 30kw unit running a 19kw load.

    Harbor Freight PTO generator noise

    The cheaper PTO generators are 2-pole units, and spin at 3600rpm. So they whine something fierce. That is normal. You pay more, and larger PTO generator which are 4-pole genheads spin at 1800rpm.

    Left turn on 2 lane. Stay in R/H lane or L/H to let cars continue on?

    choice A - only down to the last maybe 50ft. The approach is different for what type of roadway. Back country road, no lines? start moving to more center of road. Country road with lines, start hugging more to left of your lane, wheels now on the center line stripe, maybe a little over. All...

    Giant Hornets, aka European Hornets

    I started seeing them about 3 weeks ago. At the front door, around the lights in the dark. Plus they fly around and go :bump: into the windows trying to go for the lights inside. They are not the West coast murder hornets. They are Europeon Hornets. They look like Yellow Jackets, but 5-6 times...

    Not liking the new layout to find stuff. Anyway, with spring coming, and not needed any gas generator action. Sucked out all treated gas, and put into the truck. Went by and picked up some fresh 100% gasoline and treated it. Filled each gas generator and ran them with a load, shut down, and...

    On road diesel vs off road NO 2 red

    It all depends on the location of the diesel. Any location which does not have volume turnover can have water issues. Regular diesel or off-road. You can have a algae issue too. Say you fill up a 55 gallon drum, and its sits around a year or 2, and you then go to use it. You could have water and...

    JD 6430 a/c blower motors

    Howdy, A Deere 6430 has 2 a/c blower motors under the seat area. I have gotten a good 11 years out of the OEM units. It was just bad timing for them to die. There is nothing like a glass box with no a/c when its 92 outside and 30 acres of hay ready to pick up. Simple enough to replace, but you...

    Well Houses

    Howdy, Your profile does not list where you are? What area do you need this well house? It depends on the ground, water table, locations, electricity, and usage. Instead of a well house, I like to have it all in the ground. The well casing, pitless adapter is about 15 feet away. Here in...

    Use Fluid Film to lube attachment-dolly caster bearings? Other suggestions?

    Howdy, Yes, Fluid Film works great on many many things. It stays around too. Others buy a gallon or 5 gallon bucket and spray the bottom side of their car or truck. Chains= I see some mention chain-saver. I use a very specific product on all my chains. (square baler and round baler) Kellogs...

    Your last generator Maintenance Run

    Howdy, Most larger PTO generators will have a "Full Power Outlet" which is usually a set of Anderson connectors. They could be the Anderson SB175 units or Anderson SB350 units. My 30kw PTO generator uses the Anderson SB350 connectors. My SB350 connectors are good up to 350 amps.

    Gas Generator to House AC connection???

    Howdy, The interlock kit lets you use the circuit breaker of your choosing. If you have a smaller generator, you would have a dual pole 30amp breaker. If you had a larger generator, you could have a dual pole 50amp breaker. Here is a interlock with dual pole 30amp breaker for the generator...

    PTO driven generator

    Howdy, PTO generators come in many styles and sizes. I feel my Tiger Power 30K is overbuilt. I am sure the specs are derated. Since it is a larger generator, it spins internally at 1800rpm, and has LED lites showing the output volts and the amperage draw. Over the summer, the power was down...

    Heating Well Pit

    Howdy, My water works are located underground. Since it is totally underground, there is not a freeze issue. With your pictures, you need heat tape, and then pipe insulation over that. Here is a picture of the 1000 gallon cement cistern tank in the ground with the 36" pipe showing with lid. You...

    Generator backfeeding into utility lines

    Howdy, That unit looks really nice for a new installation. I too would suggest that anyone with a new installation look into having a meter with switch like this, or a panel with gen lockout kit.

    Howdy, PTO generator If you have a tractor that is large enough and is kept in good running shape, then a PTO generator can really work well. Approx. 2hp is required for each KW made.
