THIS IS MY TAKE ON THIS SUBJECT , (1) WHAT TYPE OF FUEL IS READILY AVAILABLE at all times at your place and with ample supply for extended use???? Nat. Gas , propane , diesel , or good gasoline ?? what are your power needs?? for everything . a little over kill is a lot better then not enough. I have thought about this for sometime now . And for me i have figured that here at the house the best for me would be a 15-17 Kw unit that runs on Nat, gas as there is always nat. gas unless we have a earthquake and lines get ripped apart. and the price of a genrac stand alone hard wired direct into the house is not that bad . and about twice the price of a PTo unit . Now if by chance that we did loose power and i had say a PTo unit the power to run it is not a issue for me as the S/MTA would run it or the 806 or even the S/H and i do not think that i would need to use the 1486. . The big issue would be the Fuel if the power went out and i had the tractor in town to run the house if i am out of power so is the gas stations and my fuel supplier . The next big issue would be the noise here in town with a tractor running all day and half way into the night . A portable one say around 5500-8500 watts would do the job but it would limit some things and you know darn good and well it would be a fight getting it running after setting for say a couple years . So my thoughts here is that a stand alone one that does a seft test say once a week for a few min. at a time would be better piece of mind plus it does it's own switching over when the grid goes down .

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
