I just bought one the same one brand new on marketplace for 700 hundred dollars was a steel I’m going to convert it in natural gas those generators suck a lot gas close to 2 gallon an hour

Thank you for posting this this is what I needed today

Never started it🤷🏻‍♂️

50 amps is only 12,000 watts. Make no mistake that only produces a usable 12,000 amps Math time: 15,100 watts Devided by 240 amps equals what??????======. 62.91666666666666 amps so unfortunately the 50 amp outlet only gives you 12,000watts (The gp15000e actually makes 15,100 watts it’s on the tag)

What good is it if you're not running the central unit and dryer and stove? Not at the same time but you didn't say that.

I'm going use that idea. Thanks

That's a good idea.

I'd love to have a setup like that. Huge generator and the convenience of a transfer switch. For now I'm stuck with my 7,700 watt unit and running a power cord through the kitchen window!

$20 for the panales are like $60 in Nj and the rock will cost me about $100, thanks for the idea on how to put the panels in the truck because my local tractor supply doesn't deliver(?)

can someone help me at the time of changing the oil New oil continues to come out now how can I remove that from the machine please help me

Could you put pine shaving on top of the gravel?

I have also put this on top on my kennel because my dogs like to climb out.

You should have insulated the dog house. My Fox Terrier would have that heating pad out in the yard destroyed. I installed underfloor radiant heating in my dog house under ceramic tile.

Does this method work if your yard is like a river when it rains? I’m in the process of setting up a kennel for four foster pups but don’t know how to keep the rain from flooding the floor every time.

Looks like a nice stand. Where are you located?

If anyone has Houdini breeds like Siberian huskies you may want to consider using metal zip ties for this. They will chew those plastic ones off, pull the wire up and get out very quickly. I’ve seen it happen many times.

Thank u with the price of wood this is Perfect just what I've been searching for!

I have a Hardy H2 that came with my "new" house, Thanks for the good info! I'd like to see a video on how to clean out the creosote.

Roll the damn panel up. I put them in my keep all the time. That ain’t how you put a welded wire panel in a truck.

Great video, thanks! I just finished installing one of these to run my entire house. I designed a unique parallel connection so that I could use 100% of the generators power capacity if needed. th-cam.com/video/NpOnW1mU7co/w-d-xo.html

I bought the 17,500 watt version back in 2010. Had to go to Oregon to buy it because California won’t allow them to be sold in the state. With California constantly shutting off power during fire season because of high winds we decided to install a 24kw standby propane generator with an automatic transfer switch. That way if we have to evacuate for fire it comes on if we’re not there to run the outside fire sprinklers. I kept the 17,500 hooked up to the house also as a back up to it. Good thing because power has been out for week with no estimate of it coming back on and the propane is almost empty. I did find out that the 17,500 watt model does not put 17,500 out the 240 plug. It only has 12,500 coming out it.

Do you think this would be strong enough to keep 2 pot belly pigs in? Would also put tent stakes around bottom to secure bottom.

how many circuits does the midwest transfer switch handle and how much did they charge you to install it. I have the 17500 great marketing by generac 17500 but max watts 12K via 50 amp. I built a rockwool insulated shed and I'm having challenges keeping it under 130 degrees in the hot Texas sun but now have 3000 cfm and large intakes so fingers crossed. Also went with the us carburetion tri fuel kit and it works like a champ. The 17500 and 15000 are beasts and with some hard start kits they power my 5 ton and 3.5 ton at the same time via an interlock kit. Great choice.

I have the 12,500 watt and run it on Propane but I installed my own interlock switch and a 50 amp circuit breaker to bring the power in to the panel. 500 gallons of propane could last me for a week running it steady (not that I have ever run it more then 4 hours at a time) or months running it sparingly.

You move that beast around like you're flipping nickels!

Are you still happy with your purchase?

Nice job, looks good

How large is the bean plot? Do you have a really large deer population? Wondering if I could get away with planting an acre and a half or if they’d destroy it.

we bought that same exact generator after Hurricane Ike. ( purchased from Home Depot around 2009) I converted ours to Tri-Fuel so it could run on Nat Gas or Propane or the gasoline. We got our tri-fuel kit from US Carburetion Inc. That way we don't have to worry about getting gasoline when all the gas stations have no power for a few days after a hurricane or during a crippling freeze like this past Feb.. Plus it eliminates the old gasoline from dimerizing into gums and the ethanol from corroding our fuel system.

Good video

what size transfer switch do you have? 50 amps max is 12,500 watt.

If you let the gas get old in the carb and tank then its not going to start when you need it. I always shut the fuel valve and let the carb run dry and then drain the tank into a red can. It will gum up in no time. Looks like a nice unit. Thanks for the video.

I did this with the same 10x10 retriever kennel from tractor supply for my 6 month old German shepherd. It was the perfect setup. I covered the bottom with gravel, and put a couple bags of pine shavings on top. The pine really helps with kennel cleanup be cause its absorbent. The only problem I had was the overlay of panel in the middle. Because it was sharp where I cut it, I left a strip in the middle open and zip tied an closed end to the wall and covered it 2-3 inches thick. All done for about $150. Thanks for this info sir.

That store-bought stuff has way too much sand in it after a while it will flake off.

what size are the nuts and bolts?

If the kennel is outside unlike your shaded area will the rock be too hot in the summertime?

The only thing if it rains you have to protect it from the weather elements

How do you prevent the stones/gravel from going outside?? My giant schnauzer dig like a champ and everything may leaves the area

something to put on a wish list - for those wondering about switches.. is a Meter Type "generlink".. Google it.. you would put it in the wish column. FYI great video !! Thank you for making it ! I been looking at those models

Need to put together 1 or 2 new unused 1 gallon paint can with a 100w light bulb inside and drill small holes all around the can and install the lid. The outside of the can gets to 116 degrees . Plus you should insulate the dog house with insulation board. I do this and my cats insulated condo's stay about 74 degrees no matter how cold it is outside.

You just saved me a ton of money thanks so much!!

I like to flip my fuel valve and let it run the gas out of the carb. no gas in the carb is no rotten carb.

Thanks appreciate it

Great video what’s name of rocks you used again

i like a small generator 7kw range. enough for well pumps and few essentials. during power outage fuel might be hard to get.

How well did the broadside grow??

Generac is Made in America!!!!

Great video!

Can you run your AC unit
