[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2803822, member: 9374"] Winter coming. It's time for the annual generator thread, just like the State Fair Concealed Carry Thread. lol Anyways, Sam's Club has a Black Max 7000w with a Honda motor for a grand. Not bad. Not a true Honda genny, but not bad. But I'm really looking for 10kw or so. So I ran across some auctions for diesel generators from the military. A bunch out at Tinker that are not portable, but I can pour a little concrete pad next to the house and set a generator on it. What I've read is these things are rated for like 30,000 hours, whereas the gas-powered ones you buy from Lowe's and such are about shot after a couple thousand hours. Any thoughts? Pros? Cons? Big and heavy, yes... so was my safe, but that was a good investment, I'm thinking this might be, also. And from what I have gathered, I can get them cheaper than the big-box units. May even be able to get a much bigger one for similar price - 15-20kw or so? What say you? [/QUOTE]
