Ive been looking around for a genset for the homestead. Not so much
for emergency power, but to run my welders from. Emergency backup is
icing on the cake.

My normal monthly electric bill is $150 or so (**** you Gray
Davis!!!!) and it seems that the minute I turn a welder on..it goes to
$300 a month.

No can afford this sort of thing anymore.

So Ive been browsing the gov auction sites for a long time.
I need at most...about 60 amps at 208 volts worst case. 60 hz
manditory so that leaves out the aircraft start carts and whatnot.

Id prefer of course, diesel. These below are all within easy pickup
range of me.

Anyone know anything about any of these gensets? I know its pig in a
poke, unless one can take the time to drive up there and do an
inspection.

Reviewing past auctions, they seem to go for $35-70 each. Which
concerns me. Are these utter junk, or no one wants a trailer mounted
diesel genset?

A buddy said he would pay for a pair of them, if we could get
something that would be suitable for home/ranch utility use.

Any suggestions, comments, info would be appreciated.

Also...how does one pull a pintle style trailer with a ball hitch?
