lol I remember in 1993 we had a buzzard and I could even see the shop we had no power for week then it all melted and I seen the shop for 2 days till the flood to took it for a rid down the river. stay healthy and thanks for sharing
its good seeing all the efforts to help the people of our towns and surrounding areas, my company takes care of all the houses with trees on them so we are deffinitly busy after this storm
About 20 years ago I had the house rewired from the pole, new fuse box and second one for a generator. The genny is from the home store, 5500W w/13.5hp made in USA Briggs, It runs the whole house for 14 hours on 6 gal of gas. 2 freezers and everything for normal every day life. Still running strong today. (knock knock on wood) LOL 8) --gary
Hi Sam, where I live we have to secure generators, usually by chaining them to a truck. An electric generator is a solar panel. Someday you might want to supplement your electricity bill with some panels. Good to see Boone doing his job as seat warmer. Hope you get your power back soon. In 1998 I went two weeks with a power outage. Old ladies were guarding their generators with shot guns.
Be safe out there my friend. There’s a whole bunch of Citiots up here parking in the road, blocking snow removal equipment and PGE crews. Now the snow has let up and melting we have lots of trash they left to clean up. Your comment about their brains not working when the snow comes is an understatement. Thanks for sharing Sam and Happy New Year👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Love the excitement in your voice when explaining things. Here in AK. In Three days over Christmas we had 20 inches of snow 3 inches of rain and 24 inches of snow.
Loved seeing the area covered in ❄ ! Enjoyed living there for so many years....miss northern CA., but swapped to living in the Great Smoky mountains! Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎉
My town a few over from you hasn’t seen this much snow since the 70s. Just got power back last night. Luckily we are ready for this sort of thing. Good luck to y’all. God Bless🇺🇸
Sam we just went threw some tornadoes and hail damage over here in ALABAMA. NO one killed to my knowledge. Thanks for the video content. Have a happy new year. Be Glade to get 2021 be hind me.
Diesel Gennys. Always. Tractor PTO or direct drive, don't matter. Had a PTO 20K on the farm. Put the Genny on a trailer, added a Perkins, and a makeshift hand clutch. Ran the barn and the house, no problem. Wood fireplace, with an oil furnace for extra heat, Always warm, always fed. (Sometimes overfed.) 55 gallon oil drum for a fuel tank. It got sold when we retired from farming. Now I got a 5500 with a Honda gasser. Dang, I miss that old Diesel. Now the past couple of years, we barely getting any snow at all. Last year never used the snowblower once. Just scraped it out with the loader. Hate to say it, but Dang, I miss the snow too.
Dang you are getting good with your videos! Your narrator skills are off the charts. Excellent camera shots/angles. You could give Hollywood some pointers, Lol
See if you can find yourself a MEP803a surplus diesel generator. They are a little expensive upfront but man do they make power and sip on fuel. Great video as always.
I ran my shop on a MEP003 generator. 10K continuous rating. All the Chicom diesel generators are 3600 rpm verses the majority of heavy duty generators running at 1800 rpm. The only drawback on the military units is that the mechanical noises are greater than the exhaust tone. Screw a piece of pipe into the muffler, then into an adapted automotive muffler makes the exhaust under 60dB. A plywood enclosure around the genny will deflect the mechanical up up and away. Diesel has 133,000 BTU of energy verses gasoline having 116,000 BTU for regular non-ethanol gasoline.
You know I bought a genny back when Y2K was gonna hit. Never used it much, then when I really needed it i was always goin through the carburetors like everyone. I said screw this and bought the conversion propane kit. Love it! Starts on 2 pulls and dont foul around with the gas. Now I have two and have one for the camper. It might be a little less on the power output but it works all the time. Nothing though is perfect. Hope ya’ll get through the storm ok. Great videos.
When I was in Italy in 1978 to 1979 I ran power plant we had 16 feet of snow and we shoveled the snow ❄ from building to building. In the air force we had to do what ever it took to keep the prime power plant going. It was kool
Champion makes a new portable one that runs on natural gas, propane, or gas. I have it on a flex line from the natural gas in my barn. Pull it outside the barn door to fire it up and back feed the barn and house.
I’m a landscaper and a customer just gave me their generac 15k generator. Thing has a damn 16 gallon tank on it. Would’ve like a diesel but this thing has 40 hrs on it and it was free
Got caught in Flagstaff in a little snow storm but stopped for the night and was good to go. Just took a trip from ky to Fresno, CA and back this week. I hope everyone north west is safe. You are correct I think everyone should be prepared for bad weather. It's too unpredictable now days.
I live in Missouri and our 1st real snow is supposed to start Saturday morning right around midnight here. Crazy that you go snow before we have. I just made sure my generator is ready to go in case I need it. It's not really enough to power my house. But it will power my camper if needed.
Watching you work on that little genny made me think, will those small engines be banned too, by Lued-some Newsom? … and of course right after I posted this, you made a similar comment 😂
Remove the pull starter, throw it away, get a socket ratchet adapter. put a proper socket that fits the nut on the end of the crank. Then just use a good torque drill motor to start the genny. I taped the ratchet so it cannot change the direction. Now a few sockets that fit the various gensets and you can spin the living bejeebus out of them. I use seafoam to stabilize any gasoline that I have and of course run non ethanol in the small motors. Double duty, keeps the fuel in perfect condition and continously cleans those dirty small motors.
We had a Yerf-Dog go-cart as well. I believe it had a Tecumseh engine. We were rough on that clutch and belts. It was welded on many times from hitting trees and rolled it a couple times. Ran bald a couple sets of tires on that thing.
The generators was my job . BTU’s is the clue. Diesel has more btu’s and energy and can push the generators better. Gas has less energy. The last one is propane. However diesel and gas goes bad in 1 year depending on how it is processed. Propane is the winner because it doesn’t go bad and leaves no deposits and burns cleaner. So for a backup generator use a propane with a natural gas carb/ regulator on top of each other. Run of NG when available and back up on Propane when NG isn’t available. With a block heater you are set!!!! 😁
That's a snow storm from California that's a nice day in canada by comparison . Cool to see what people from different areas call difficult or stormy weather conditions. Thank you for sharing
Sam, I love the channel. I would invest in a big stationary genset for the whole property before you can’t. I have a twin brother with autism and we have a 30kw kubota powered genset that powers my parents house and two neighbors. I am going to do the same for my house. It has a 75hp and under full load burns 1.5gph and has a 100gallon base tank.
When I was in a market for a generator and I didn’t want a gas gen so I ended up with a propane generator and I have 2 100lb tanks for it and it’ll run for days on them and I will never have to take that carb apart for any reason.
I had a simple battery repair on atv. Took longer to get tools out; than the repair took. It snowed in our area years ago; that an atv had a hard time riding in snow.
That's "break out the snowmobile and get stupid" weather when I was growing up in Michigan. One of the reasons I moved back to Miami and the Keys (10 years) in 83 after I got divorced. Spent 79 and 80 here at Coast Guard Airstation Miami. Went back up north and decided there was way more jobs available down here paying better salaries. NO MORE SNOW to shovel 😃 You can run from a hurricane 🙄 Or hunker down and have/attend a hurricane party (I've done that 3 times outta 6 hurricanes. Ran from 2 and the bitches followed me 😅
Power utility company executives always cut budget for tree trimming and are heroes for saving money untill the storms roll in and everyone looses power!
I have a fairly new Honda em 5000 on the back of my work truck that runs a huge air compressor, table saw and charges my battery’s all day long and only uses about 2 gallon in a 8hour work day on full throttle. I have noticed that brand does help with fuel consumption a lot. But that being said I would have not bought the generator I have for the new price of $2,800- $3,400 if I did not get an extremely good deal on it.
You gotta have at least a tiny little generator. Fridge, water pump, and heat pump and a few lights is night and day difference. The new hybrid trucks are sick. 2k generator built into it.
There is a trailer for every job, love that thing honestly I think it is slick. I swear I need two more trailers, my GF says “want”…..😏 nice video as always!
If you own a generator, fire it up once a month for 10-15 mins. If you don't, the day you need it to run, it's not. And install an automatic transfer switch so you don't double feed your house when the power gets restored. 🤔
@@VBELTandSON right! Gas goes bad after a while. Google says you have 3-6 months before gas goes bad but I think it's more like two months. This ethanol gas is terrible for small engines, I try to use 90 octane if I need to fill anything that runs on gas.
well I'm up on hwy 49 above the middle fork yuba remodeling a yurt. can't wait to get back to Tucson and out of this slop. reminds me of the 89/90 winter up here. ...HB
I always run it out of the cheap ethanol gas then put in a few cups of pure gas(no corrosive ethanol) and then let it run out on that. Never had an issue with a small engine, even left pure gas in an old 4wheeler for 5 years and it started and ran fine, smelled funny but still ran fine
What goose neck is that? Genuinely curious I w been looking through your videos but I can’t it 🤣🤣 been watching you for some time now Sam love the work. from south Florida 🙌🏽
Michigander me, wishing I had snow to drive in and drooling over that lifted white dually, then Sam destroys it with: “Ope, he’s stuck! Oh, there’s a white Greg_A truck” 🤣
Was wondering how you and the family was doing after seeing the pictures of Grass Valley and surrounding areas. Back in the early 70’s Remembering what my boss at the time told me about the snow in and around Bridgeport, Ca. of 35 ft. plus.
Not that it would have made a difference in your situation, at our bobcat shop we have the best luck hooking the positive of the jump pack right to the starter. Way easier than reaching in that tight hole to access the positive post on the battery.
Seems to me, in Alberta the electric motors for any utility motors such as generator, chainsaw, garden tractors… etc. Can be gas or diesel, including skid steers and such…. Or real long extension cords. Lol
Have you thought about buying a Honda 7000 for the house...has electric start and remote and all pure signwave allowing laptops etc to be run off it. Also could look into a Genny for the whole property if you had it where the mains come in..
I lived in That area for years.....now I'm in the south them storm's are money making machines......Hurricanes here.....Generators double or triple in value.......overnight....And gouging is against the law lol........Cummins power
1/3rd of California gets snow and has record snow fall to date of season. Sierra’s just East of Grass Valley has atleast 18ft of snow. Yes new record. More snow in the Cascades of Northern Californiia and Big Bear area of Socal. All snow melt in Northern California makes up majority of drinking water and lakes levels in California. Especially Socal area. Will not know until end of the wet season, first of April to see how we make out with water levels. Underwater aqeducts ( under ground water) determine droughts here. California always goes through 3-4 year cycle of drought then above average for a few years and repeats. Nothing new.
I got a Greenworks battery powered chainsaw. Haven't really used it yet. But it, like all of them, are tiny. What is going to replace a 372 Husky or other big saw? Gov. Nuisance and all the other idiots in state government have no clue. Just another way to stick it to rural areas and the timber industry. Way back almost a hundred years ago the Nevada County Narrow Guage Railroad was shut down due to major snow. They bought and rebuilt a small rotary snowplow but never, up until the time of abandonment, did they use it. Reason: no snow.
@@VBELTandSON I meant DEF only, like no diesel. Poor wording made for a missed CA joke. Still, though, it’s a bit silly that generators require the stuff, especially for emergency use. “I know you’re trying not to freeze to death because our infrastructure can’t handle a bit of snow, but we don’t want to upset Greta…”
find a older towable light tower.. 1800 rpm, 6 to 12 kw sets, usually kubota powered, some Isuzu with Stamford marathon generators.. can usually get a good runner for under 2k.. 50 gallon fuel tanks too.. and have there own enclosure.. i cant stand 3600 rpm generators..
Let me ask the question, many states are now passing legislation banning the use of small engine equipment, lawn mowers, chainsaws, blowers and generators, some states seem more aggressive then others, now that you've been reminded of the power of nature, has your stance changed seeing lawmakers trying to drum up support for these equipment bans?
Yea I get the whole generator thing. I sold my big one back during the rolling blackouts. It was way bigger than I needed. I bought an off-brand inverter generator, and a PTO drive generator that was about the same size as the one I sold. So I am good for gas or diesel. Other than the high pitch whine of the PTO generators. They are very cost effective if you have a small old tractor kicking around.
Powerline situation maybe worse in Pennsylvania! LOL But what a mess, we are living in these days! It pisses me off, worse than you I think, that you have to get rid of a better truck than the new one you are getting!
@@VBELTandSON Going to say something else! You and V Belt alone could give the biggest tree service company in NW PA nightmares! They get the power company contracts, big outfit, lots of overhead. Your specialty is needed and important anywhere trees grow!
You probably already have a full schedule of jobs and this storm may only make things more unmanageable. Power outages are very hard on the old folks and people that are on home breathing machines and Kidney dialysis machines that have to run every 4 to 6 hours indeed .

in the northeast they cut trees far away from power lines. It's interesting to me to see how other states can't handle a tiny amount of snow.

Diesel is more energy dense than anything short of platunium.

Remeber to rens of the shop roof if you don't want to repair it. snow becomes heavay when it's start to melt
That's nothing here in Rochester NY for snow. A foot of snow causes everyone to stock up on supplies.

Seems to me, in Alberta the electric motors for any utility motors such as generator, chainsaw, garden tractors… etc. Can be gas or diesel, including skid steers and such…. Or real long extension cords. Lol
Good man 👍
Can you make a video on all of the equipment that you have at your place
I can tell you are getting cabin fever. Being stuck home sucks to a man who is used to going daily
Oh I’m a happy camper working in the shop. Been looking forward to it. Just wish the power had stayed on ha
Say what you want but I believe your right if it's chilled by mother nature it will taste better 🤷
Fuel consumption between 2 equal wattage gensets is.....the diesel will consume 1/2 the fuel that a gas genset does !

find a older towable light tower.. 1800 rpm, 6 to 12 kw sets, usually kubota powered, some Isuzu with Stamford marathon generators.. can usually get a good runner for under 2k.. 50 gallon fuel tanks too.. and have there own enclosure.. i cant stand 3600 rpm generators..
Sounds like when you add on to the shop you'll modify the house and shop electric to run off a PTO generator.
Whats gonna happen when we cant buy generators in Cali anymore and stuff like this happens and the power is out for days.
Haha that’s what I’m asking
It all depends on how hard the generator is working to what amount of fuel it burns
Both units have same ratings and ran same house. Diesel did way better
Let me ask the question, many states are now passing legislation banning the use of small engine equipment, lawn mowers, chainsaws, blowers and generators, some states seem more aggressive then others, now that you've been reminded of the power of nature, has your stance changed seeing lawmakers trying to drum up support for these equipment bans?
I never supported the ban. Dumbest idea they have had
Massachusetts people never use their blinker
I remember that Shasta trip. Good OG video. Let’s go Brandon
Always run your generator carburetor out of fuel. Then you will have less problems with generators.
I try to fire them up once and awhile. At some point all carbs need cleaned. First time I’ve touched them in 2-3 years
You should see how much a whole house generator is for you house
I’m gonna see if I can find a 6bt one to run a couple houses 👍🏻
O ok sounds like a good idea
Help the old and the little ones. 18-40 if you can't take care or yourself, we don't need you.
Yea I get the whole generator thing. I sold my big one back during the rolling blackouts. It was way bigger than I needed. I bought an off-brand inverter generator, and a PTO drive generator that was about the same size as the one I sold. So I am good for gas or diesel. Other than the high pitch whine of the PTO generators. They are very cost effective if you have a small old tractor kicking around.
I have a Honda eu7000i and it sips fuel so far…
Powerline situation maybe worse in Pennsylvania! LOL
But what a mess, we are living in these days!
It pisses me off, worse than you I think, that you have to get rid of a better truck than the new one you are getting!
Man that’s saying something
@@VBELTandSON Going to say something else! You and V Belt alone could give the biggest tree service company in NW PA nightmares! They get the power company contracts, big outfit, lots of overhead.
Your specialty is needed and important anywhere trees grow!
Whoa wait a hot minute.. could swore I read something saying Cali was trying to ban generators ... then this happens hmm
We didn't get any snow 🙏🏼 but it's Cold 🥶
What is the other channel?

You probably already have a full schedule of jobs and this storm may only make things more unmanageable. Power outages are very hard on the old folks and people that are on home breathing machines and Kidney dialysis machines that have to run every 4 to 6 hours indeed .
