I have a harber freight air comp... did some research... it might pay off to run it for an hour then change the oil... could be crud in oil pan that could mess it up.... better sage than sorry.... good luck

Make sure you have enough ventilation so that the Carbon Monoxide sensor doesn’t shut the generator off… I just bought the 8750 inverter from Harbor Freight and love it!!

Good morning -2* on the mid coast of Maine Love harbor freight to ! 🙂 I have a 3500 predator great little generator, also run 2 Honda generators 2200 inverter and a older 4500 which has 110 / 220 volts so I can run my well pump cause I am 400' down running a 3/4 hp pump ! Great channel ! Love your videos ! Thanks for sharing your time with us ! Be safe and GOD BLESS YOU & FAMILY !! BIG D

Momma says it's time for automatic!

I have a champion 4500w inverter generator with remote start at our offgrid cabin. I love the remote start. How many hours on yours? At 99hrs money wouldnt start due to needing a valve adjustment.

I wish I'd watched this two weeks ago before creating a huge wobbly pyramid.😂

I bought a 5kw first, after you run it down to 80% or 4kw now you only have 80A for charge, my 9kw running at 6200w I get 60hrz steady 125A charge, in order for me to get a full Gen charge I need a 15kw running at 12000w 10kw charge 2kw home load. Any gen at the right draw will get 60hrz, but turn off surge loads while charging, don't forget that visible note that says "FRIDGE!!!". Running the gen off a big LPG tank is luxury, no gas cans, fill delivery, clean motor and mine was just fine at -27F, under 120gal you might get cold problems. Next door has a champion 4500 but there 12v system only charges at 300w I am surprised how many days that gen runs on 1 tank, at 6200w my 9kw burns a gal per hour or 1% of my 123gal, not too bad when you only run it 80mins on a dark day. Oversize your gen, lasts longer and more options for power. BEWARE Amazon LPG 10' ft hose with no gauge, that super cheap one, leaks like an open valve lost 4gal in 1-hour, dummy gauge one so far is fine.

i have the 3500 predator one. i change the oil often. really like the electric start. im gettin too old to keep pulling.

Did I miss the part where he explains why ?

thumbs up

What's the science?

Were you affected by the earth quake? I hope you guys are well! Rest easy to night.🙏❤️🙂

Mardens had dewalts other day i saw

Big fan of champion ! Have one that’ll run the whole show with electric start and a smaller 2500 that’s the equivalent of a Honda but with a. Little more juice and super quiet and one hand carry. Great and informative video as always. Take care

My only comment is why won’t you consider propane? If you had 500 to 1000 gallon tank of propane you would certainly have ample fuel on hand. Propane never spoils, never causes carburetor or fuel injection issues, much cleaner fuel for small engines. Far less carbon issues. I have two inverters running on propane. I never once thought about going back to gasoline. Even though both inverters can use it. Do you use non ethanol (recreational gasoline) fuel? 87 octane gasoline causes a lot headaches for small engines. Thank you,

I like harbor freight and their warranties are as you say!!!!!

Make sure you keep up with that oil Jason....😉

Good to hear from you always nice to have more than one

Ive been buying stuff from harbor freight for 30+ years and still have many of those tools in good working order. One of which is a 4"grinder that is finnaly on its last legs but was bought in 1997 during my stint in the USMC at Cherry point. Ive put THOUSANDS of disks through that thing and the bearing is just now giving up. Well worth the money. We use predator gens on every hunting/fishing trip and ill use one to charge my solar as you do as soon as we move up! As for the workshop filling up, Im not sure a shop has ever been built thats "big enough" 🤣

Greetings from Wisconsin. Good to see you

Like Andy says from Andy's Little Homestead... "if you're going to buy Chinese, you might as well pay Chinese prices." But I absolutely LOVE Harbor Freight!!!

Nice new generator. I have a Pulsar GD400BN 4000/3200. I plan to use it to top off my lithium batteries.

You have a predator, You be a beat nick, or a hippie

You are a life saver

thumbs up

Thats such a classic story. Moving from a big city to the backwoods. I love Chicago. It has its problems, but what a beautiful city.

I watched Carrie at Woman Off Grid with Dog (who also lives in Maine) she has her generator up on a little table so the oil can be changed without kneeling, moving. Was a good idea I thought, when I get set up that is my plan. Good to see you pushing on in the cold!

In your opinion ( maybe ) it depends on several different things pallets covered firewood shed & end supports or shed dividers .

WOW, I was thinking about this exact project! Amazing. Searched on UA-cam and my dream was there with tips for fabricating and use. Thank you. Just received 8" of snow. My brother has a pick up and plow but borrowing and return is a pain. Storms have not been often due to global warming. This summer / fall project is going to be similar. I was thinking, hinged at the point, spreaders removable, bent pipe with socket on each side with hitch pin. Will check out your build video. Thank you for plowing my path!

"Perfect" is a subjective opinion.

It’s a lot cheaper to maintain than it is to replace!

Stay as warm as possible!

Great job Jason, alot of people just run things into the ground and don't care. When you're in a situation like you are relying on it as a necessity, maintenance is key with keeping up and having it when you need it

Hi there, we got 7 inches of snow last night down here in Turner Maine. I took the yard stick outside and before I shoveled I measured it. Old Granny I am yes I'm out here shoveling back porch and little bit of back yard to get the dogs out to pee keeps me out and doing something besides cooking and cleaning, stay warm

So true. Too many people don't do maintenance then complain that the equipment isn't very good. I've had my Champion for at least 10 years but only have run it maybe 75 hours in that time.

Stay warm have a great day

Allan’s like a spider monkey up on the roof. You’re lucky to have good help like him. Plus his knowledge. Looks great. Bet your liking this winter

been watching your vids for 3 weeks started at the start and working my way to the present. Just notice you went from 11.6k to 11.7k. Congratulations…

You have come a long long way with your carpentry skills. Nice looking greenhouse. Should last for many moons.

I live in Maine and have lived in new England all my life. We are in snow pattern right now.

Southern California here, I know I couldn’t handle a whole season of what you deal with but lord almighty if you have a fireplace, I’d trade you for a month! Y’all are grounded to the earth by frozen water. We’re dry as bones out here.

Not that deep to me I just leave it in a pile outside for a yr that seasons it

Get a wood stove that burns overnight, 4k $ expensive but worth it.

Yep it's how I was taught

Thanks, this was very helpful! We burned wood 25 years ago. Just brought a cabin and going back to wood from coal.
