What did you buy this week?

Parts for my parents lifted golf cart. It's been parked for two years in dry storage, so we are going through all belts, fluids and filters so they can drive around the farm on it.

Golf carts are great on the farm. We have 2 runabouts and one industrial carts on the ranch. Our family has been using these handy dandy little carts in ranching for 50 yrs.

Just got a 200amp manual xfer switch installed so I can plug the house into my PTO generator. Guess that means we will probably never experience any more power outages for as long as I live.

Look at it this way - would you pay $1000 to guarantee you never lose power again?

(well, you kinda did...or whatever it cost you for the xfer switch

I'm in the same boat, but I like being prepared. I've had one 4 hour outage since I set up my PTO generator hookup several years ago.

I bought a used eBike. I really like it. It's heavy with fat tires so with peddle assist off it really kicks your butt.

A 30'X40'X14' metal building for a hay barn. Will have 2 12'X12' rollup doors on the ends. Insulated with 8' of metal on the inside walls. They will start on the concrete slab tomorrow. Will be able to unload hay off the trailer and stack it in the barn with my 10-bale W.R. Long hay grapple.

What PTO generator do you have? How big is your tractor? I had the 200 amp manual xfer switch installed a couple of years ago, but don't have the generator that is the right size.

I'm buying a MF 2860 this week, so that will be my PTO to use if I go that route.

I have had a PTO generator on my mind to have one less engine to maintain.

WinCo 15kw, 60 amp output. The 200a xfer switch is enough to handle the entire house but I need to manually load shed so as not to overload the tractor. I only have around 29hp at the PTO so I'm not going to get the full 15kw out of the generator.

If I get a bigger generator and/or tractor in the future, the xfer switch will handle it.
