I d find out what model the Miller welder is first

If it s an older model with a DC only generator it won t do you any work as a standby unit

The smallest late model I could find was a 6200 watt AC/DC generator that has 120 and 240 power

For the average non gram home owner a dual fuel unit would be the best option but which type would depend on what s available in your area, there s no natural gas available where I live so a NG/LP fueled generator would be a single fuel LP for me

Here for a standby generator the local gas suppliers will only install a 150 gallon LP tank, depending on the size of the generator that will get you 4-6 days of use before the tank empties out

A ice storm in 2009 left us without power for 10 days, we had a 4500 watt portable generator I connected to the house, it powered the lights, fridge, freezer, electric griddle for cooking and 1500 watt quartz heater, with selective use it would power the well pump or water heater but only only one at a time

The 4500 watt generator would burn 12-15 gallons of gas per 24 hours while our 75000 watt diesel generator powered 3 large poultry barns on 35 gallons of diesel per 24 hours

For my home a small diesel generator of around 6000 watts would be best, although higher priced a diesel unit will operate on half as much fuel as a gas unit of the same size, LP/NG units use more fuel than a gas powered unit, normally we ll have 400-800 gallons of diesel on hand versus a couple 5 gallon cans of gas

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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. ... [Read Article]
