    Homemade Generator

    Thanks! Also, the springs and axle are mounted on a subframe that comes off with six bolts so it can be set on a slab, and it has vibration dampening pads on all four corners of the frame to keep it from moving around.

    Homemade Generator

    I built a 10KW genset with a Yanmar 3TA72 22HP engine and a generator I bought from Norther Hydraulics. The biggest problem I had was the coupling to connect the engine and generator, but I finally found one that works quite well. I've used it three times since I finished it up a couple of years...

    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    My BX2230 does everything I need a tractor to do, so if I did buy another tractor, it would b a BX. Although I might splurge and get one with a backhoe next time.
