Hey List,
I'm looking for a backup generator for my house .. we typically loose power a few days a year due to snow ... but one never knows what the future will hold.
I'm leaning toward a 3600rpm portable Diesel motor generator .. can get one (Looking at ETQ 6000 model) for about $1100.00 ... vs a PTO driven unit for the tractor ... Can get one at this site for about $500.00 plus shipping.
Do any of you's guys have any experience with the ETQ brand .. I don't think it would last forever... but for only a few days a year I would hope I could get 10 years out of it?
My Kioti has a 540 PTO, so I don't know what ENGINE RPM I would have to run to get the pto generator to spin at the correct speed ... It would kill me to leave the ol girl screaming over the idle speed for hours at a time??
Any Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
