I had a pto generator that ran off a Horse model Troy Bilt tiller and I sold it and bought a Troy Bilt generator in 2003 that was rated at 7550 watts. It was dangerous fueling that in the dark trying to lift 5 gallons of gas and holding a light. When we had a tornado to touch down in June 2012 and was only a few miles from us we decided to buy a standby generator.
We bought a Kohler 14kw generator that will run on LP or NG. We have NG and the generator cost $3699.00 and the plumbing for the gas line, electrician, permits and programming the generator with a lap type computer was close to another $3300.00.
When the brunt of Superstorm Sandy hit we lost house power and the Kohler engine started and our lights came on again. Power was restored after 26 hours. Both refrigerators and freezer had power. So did the furnace during the outage. Our neighbors across the street still don't have power. They lost power before we did. I sold the 7550 generator. I think we have 13 circuits on the transfer switch that's wired to the generator. One circuit feeds 120vac to the generator for charging the battery and is regulated at 2 amps. There's probably a rectifier located somewhere on the generator. Hal PS: The shipping was free and no tax from AZ.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
