We are displeased.

Finally got everything in place to order the transfer switch. Showed available to ship. Placed the order with the L Big Box store using a significant discount one time use code. Order went through fine. Four hours later I get a message that shipping has been delayed until October. It's on a brand new L Big Box CC with a billing due date of late September which means I'll have to pay for it before it ships.

Or maybe not: https://www.lowes.com/l/billing-policy.html

That says they won't post the charge until the item ships.


grsthegreat, do you have any way of verifying if Generac is out of stock on RXSW100A3 ? If they have them available, I'll be jumping on L to see what their beef is.

generac is out of everything right now. I just got an email today that stated there 82,000 generators back ordered. If i were to order a 22 kw generator today, estimated shipping date is January, 2021.

i should sell the 2 RXSW200A3 i have in stock.....could make way more than i paid for them. I keep them for spare parts.

I run a IMD 16000 VA 135 AMP PTO Genset ran to a simple HD utility cut off switch that I simply run as "whole house". The tractor is a MF 25 HP with 18HP at the PTO it handles the entire house; heating, appliances, tv ,lights , with no issues @ 540 PTO speed it keeps up just fine. Power is clean. Ran it last winter 3 days and nights straight with no problems and the simple switch makes it very trouble free. I just plug the house in to the Genset throw the switch and are good to go. I think its a great use of my investment. I figure the tractor being a quality diesel with good maintenance can run 40 to 50K hours no problem.

I'm very happy with my pto powered gen set too, but I'd bet my life that you will NOT get 20K trouble free hrs on your tractors diesel, let along 40k or 50k!!

I got that quote from the You Tube guy Jeremy @ Messecks he says they are engineered for it. I'll never own it long enough to see those numbers but glad to know I can confidently run it 2-3 days straight. Of course all is dependent on as long as I maintain it properly. I really like utilizing the tractor I figured I got it, might as well use it all I can and its much better for me than an installed unit as I would spec a diesel and that would quickly escalate the cost.

I run mine as much and as long as I want, it will easily outlast me, but I know my tractor isn't going to go "trouble free" for 20K hours...
