Click here* I use a 15-kilowatt PTO Onan generator to run the house during extended power outages. I bought it used last year for $1,100. I also have a 4.5-kilowatt engine-driven generator with welder capabilities.* I bought a Generac 45/60-kilowatt PTO generator for my hog farm because I got tired of my electric company not wanting to replace a fuse in a timely manner.* We use two Onan 45-kilowatt generators with Ford engines. They have been very reliable. They cost $15,000 each, plus $1,000-$2,000 for switches, and even more for installation and hookup. It is expensive, but we need the large kilowatt output to power 2 acres of greenhouse production. I don''t know anything else nonexplosive, that you can pick up with one hand, and that can move five tons one hundred feet--with safety, precision, and astonishingly little work. Like many good tools the Tirfor is a thing of beauty, superbly designed and engineered. With 100 feet of cable (or more) its reach is much greater than a come-along, and this can often make all the difference. Its speed is much faster, too, not just the speed in moving something (the lever is double-acting) but speed in setting up or moving the set-up around. Often when you need to move something, minutes if not seconds count. The action is precise. A come-along winds the cable upon itself, and often when the cable comes under tension the cable wrap slips a bit. The resulting jerks can cause all kinds of problems in a situation where precise movement counts, and a sudden shift in load may cause failure somewhere else. Finally, the Tirfor has a much more effective (and safer) mechanism for smoothly lowering a heavy load. Most (ratcheted) come-alongs are very poor at this. The feature that sets the MLT3060 light tower apart from its brethren is its size. Although smaller, Roberts said the MLT3060 maintains the same structural integrity of its full-sized counterparts by incorporating a structural steel tubular frame. At 48 in. wide, Roberts explained that as many as 12 MLT3060 towers can be stacked side-by-side on a flatbed truck, as opposed to eight MLT4060s, which are 16 in. wider, or even fewer MLT5060s, which am 33 in. wider. The MLT3060 tower also weighs 230 lb. less than the 185fl lb. MLT4060 and 425 lb. less than the 2045 lb. MLT- 5060. With the outriggers extended, the MLT3060 light tower is 98 in. wide, which still offers an extremely stable unit in winds in excess of 65 mph. ©2003 www.band-saws-for-sale.com. All rights reserved. |
