Good points one and all/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif. As far as setting one up why not just get one of those cheap carryall frames and mount it on there and then you would have a 3 pt hitch PTO gen for about $75!!/w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif Right now I just have a 4000 watt gas driven by a 8 horse briggs fed by a 6 gallon boat type gas tank. Works great and runs all day on a tank of gas. I have a well pump(220) and I run HW heater a freezer, 2 fridges and anything else that is needed minus the AC/heat. Instead of spending money on a transfer box or panel, I just plug in and back feed my house from my shop. I have a 100 amp breaker feeding my shop and a breaker in my shop panel with a pig tail hanging out the box to plug the genny into. Works great if you are wired up this way. All you have to do is turn your main breaker off feeding your house first. I also clearly numbered my breakers and have a very simple intruction list posted for my wife/w3tcompact/icons/love.gif to use in case I am not home and she needs the power. I have in the past just made a power cord to run from my gen to the dryer plug in. This works just as well but you have to have a window or door open to get the cord inside/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif. I do not recommend these set ups for someone that is not familair with electricity though. It works, it's safe, but you can't make mistakes with electricity/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif, so if unsure spend the extra money and have it done professionally.
