I picked up a 6500 Watt Gen from the Pawn shop for 400$.  I should have worked on the hookup last night. It's 15F and 20mph winds here this am. -7F feels like.
23A 240 V continuous..  It will run the water pump. Just getting out of the truck is an issue, I need to make a ramp. I have no one to help me lift it out.

We are looking like less than 1/2" of ice, we may not lose power at all. The winds matter with the overhead power lines.

The conservative talk radio host brushed this storm off as nothing to worry about.   This is no joke..There will be loss of life associated with it.  But the Heat Waves are the biggest killer.

Johnny, in an earlier post   you told us you look the 7500 watt camping...now you say the 6500 watt is too heavy to get out of the truck.

You just pulled a BeeVee.

Beevee has work arounds.  You seem to be at a standstill.

Parrallax effect..  Now I need a hoist!   I Guess I will make a ramp to scoot it down off on a 2X12 I have today. Maybe son in law is off work and can come help.  The nieghbor will for sure..   If we have a power outage I will be able to drop him a 110V line.  I might just keep it in the truck for now.

I continue to improve on my Geria-tricks.. Buying a good hand truck is one of the best purchases I ever made.

I ripped a hernia in a disc in my younger years,.  My brain is a wee bit smarter as an Ancient Flatulator.  The back has been very good since the surgery 20 years ago.

I forgot how heavy 7500 Watt machines are.  And it is way overkill for camping.  But it ain't tethered to the house like @MR-7  's. The farmers are getting rid of their old gen sets..If I was going to do whole house it would have a trailer and a quick disconnect.  Trailer is on the get list too.

I am weak on maintianing and running gas engines. If I can keep the gen running it will be convenient to take my electric tree saws around the house or on the road out in the woods for wood. It is used so I have tto get the old fuel out, change the oil, and get it tapped into the home grid. Today, and it is freaking 12 deg f and blowing like a mother phooker..  Getting my AntifICE  costume on.

Portability.. You probably have your own feaking crane and forklift rich guy. I guess some farmers move them from pump to pump for irrigation.

I had a litlle bit of experience with large Mil Gen Sets..  I remember 10kW but they were huge.  Maybe they were 100kW. Ran the marine corps camps.

Were there any protestors in your town?  I heard there were gatherings in 200 towns and cities.
 
 A State Wide General Strike was new to me.

Get them while YOU last. Elon has snowball throwers for sale in Hell.. It's hard to find a parking spot to shop there. Don't stay too long.. It could end up being an eternity.
