Don't throw out your eggs or give them all to the pigs. They should be good. They weren't washed so they are just fine. Do a float test if you need to. I just had a bunch of eggs that were sitting in a dish outside for days. I did the float test and they sank which means they are fine. We ate them and they are good.
I'm very happy that your generator is still under warranty. Plus I enjoyed your footage of that expo you was at. Yes that hen was mad , I've had hens in the past sitting and when you move them from the nest they do get mad and she was telling the other chickens about it I believe because I had a little rooster to they to flog me because I moved a sitting hen from the nest before lol. God bless you everyone sir.🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😊😊
Advice: when it comes to 2stroke or 4stroke motors, there are some main things that can make it not work properly. 1.Gas filter is dirty 2. Water in gas can and line. 3. Spark plug has lil spark(not gapped properly) or dead. 4. Air filter is clogged so it will over heat. 5. Low oil in crank case. 6. Carburetor injector hole(s) are gummed up, diaphragm is dirty, fuel to air mixture is either to lean or to rich, float is stuck. I hope this isn't to much for yah Dutch....lol
Hi, I came over from Julie & Jason's channel, I love your channel too. Thank you for giving them a shout out Cause they really deserve it. See you next time. 👍💕💕
Sean Brandy and family, I'm glad your generator is still under warranty and hopefully you'll be able to get it exchanged at that local store. Seeing all those eggs under that broody hen🐔 Wow! Look like there had to be two dozen! That sure was a treat for the pigs! 😂🐖🐖🐖🐖 Your girls are growing up so fast🌺🌼🌸 I'm so happy for you and your 🧔👩🏻wife that you get to spend this time with them. I know that is such a blessing💫 Praying for everybody's health and happiness. God Bless y'all🌈🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇
If you want to know whether eggs are good or not, fill a bowl or pan full of water deep enough that the egg is completely covered. Put an egg in the water, if it floats, it is not good. If it is on the bottom but stands up a little but is touching the bottom it’s still good but only for a couple days more. If the egg lays down on the bottom, it’s a good egg. You probably know that but I thought I’d tell you just in case you didn’t.
You can also see if an egg is starting to develop a chick inside by candling it. Use a flashlight (or candle) in a dark room. The 'germ' will be visible....you can tell if it is larger than normal.
Brandie, every one I follow I consider friends to me, whether they do is? My kids say to me when I have been on you tube they say 'what have you seen or heard through your channels that you watch today'? and I will mention people at random by name as if they are supposed to know who I follow ha ha. I am glad you had a good time at the expo. Dutch, Brandie and family have a great day.
I just watched your family look at the yurts. Look up Jake and Nicole in the Canadian forest. they have done so much with their yurt. They are off grid. LOVE your channel.
I love watching your videos! I'm living vicariously through you all! I'm disabled from Cancer, etc...so I don't get out much. Watching your videos brings me alot of comfort...Thank you!
lol mad chickens - my grandpa use to ask my grandma where’s the egg basket, every time they went out to their coop - she never remembered to bring the basket, so grandpa would pull his shirt off and let grandma carry the eggs back to the house in his shirt - that’s love 💜
Funny, Harbor Freight generator ad at the beginning of the video. Your chickens wanted their eggs back, they want the calcium from the shells. It looked like they were saying; You gave them to those pigs? That splitter was fast!
Gary cracked me up! He told me about meeting y'all. I laughed at him 🤣 We are always meeting someone famous and not knowing it! I hope he didn't bruise your ego too much! Great to meet y'all! God Bless you on your journey!-Cyndi
Saw someone takes short section of Pcv and put it on the chicken to cover the head/beak while removing the eggs. Helps to prevent getting pecked. Sort of on the same idea of thos dog cones people get at the vet office.
With your broody hen, either separate her, where other hens cant lay more eggs and give her 12 eggs to hatch. Or if you want stop her being broody, separate her into a small cage without a nest and keep her there for about 5 days. To speed up process give her underside a cold soaking and lock the rooster up with her.
Been off grid now a year, love it, just wanted to try to help with the solar, we live off 1 kw, but we built our own home and wired the whole house 12 volt and only use inverters where needed. Your fridge and freezer use alot of power, we went propane fridge and we have 1 kw running a deep freeze, there is cheaper ways of off grid, you just have to way you options out, to convert a whole house and run all the modern conveniences costs way to much in solar to justify it, it take 1/3 of your power produced to convert it over to consume it with appliances. If you wanna know more just ask. Love what you guys are doing.
I appreciate your advice to them because they’re trying very hard to find the best way and now would be the best time to convert things over to various other off grid economical use of power sources! I’ll tell you thank you!
Pushed the wrong button,filling station may have just got a new load of fuel in bad time to buy fuel,should always use stabilizer especially if buying ethanol,just a thought,love you guy's, keep'm coming
Really like hearing all Your stories I have watched Kerakeys spelling wrong but watch them a lot like You Love your family your Girls are workers keep up all the good work God bless
I can do that with a saw blade my dad owned a meat market and the saw blade to cut the shank meat you had a blade like that kind of like a band saw. You had to take it apart each night to clean it.
That wood splitter was awesome! We have an event in September here in Fredonia, ks called Old Iron Days. There are all kinds of little things to do there. Learn how to churn butter, how they made the old shingles with old equipment. All sorts of cool things.
Chicken feed can be a bit expensive and make the eggs expensive, but the services the chickens provide more than out weigh the cost. They're good manure spreaders, good soil turner's and good for insect abatement. If you should decide to get geese, you'll also get inexpensive guard service.
I try to always use non-ethanol gas in my air cooled engines unless it says it’s ok. Take a flashlight and look into the gas tank. The water will be in the bottom of the tank and separate from the gasoline.
Been there done that with the generator’s being off grid just for a week at a time every couple of months In Florida where it’s hot too, needing A/C a lot we trashed 4 different Honda generators. I finally bought a 10 kw military generator it’s very very quiet runs on diesel fuel, out put ism120 -240 volts even 3 phase. I found mine on eBay it had 200 hours and paid $3,300. I plant to add it to the house once we get the grid hooked up.
when we use to get to many eggs we would sell some extras, but we also would crack alot open beat them together and put into freezer bags and freeze them ( eggs freeze well ) then when we wanted to back alot for holidays ect pull out a bag let it melt and use them for baking and fast scrambled eggs or omlets
Hey, I'm going to share-forward a tip a neighbor of mine shared, a farmer from Georgia now long gone. If you have water-contaminated gasoline, you can separate the water with a funnel and a piece of nylon cloth. The nylon lets gas right through and stops water on top, I think it's chemically hydrophobic. I like to line a funnel with the cloth then let the nylon drip-dry after. It also strains any particulates pretty well. I really don't like putting alcohol into fuel for small engines, tends to be corrosive. I run my small engines on E0 gas. Hope this helps someone. Cab
Dutch let me suggest you buy an ONAN Generator next time. You could run everything you run now with the Preditor 9000 on an ONAN 6500. The ONAN generators are designed to run 24 hrs a day. Just a suggestion. I Love your videos.
Dutch - invest in the inverter and the battery bank first. You can then use the generator if needed to charge. This allows your generator to run when needed to charge, but remain off while the batteries are carrying your loads. Then add panels as $ becomes available. Martin Johnson has done this and it is cost effective. The charge controllers have a connection that will start a generator automatically if needed. I don't have solar yet, but I'm an electrical engineer (retired) that has done quite a bit of research. Good luck.
Will be here to watch the process of installing solar. Sorry about the generator. Glad you still have warrantee left on it. Respect and support from our island Jamaica
nine times out of ten, exchange foer a new one under warranty that you get a reburbished one, one that someone else had bought in under warranty, i find the ony wasy that you know it is not is when another one is taken from the shop shelve. my exspereince is with referbished, " tell you that it is a new one" always craps out as well . be aware i say.
We have the smaller Predator 3500 and it did something similar a couple of weeks ago. We figured out that the exhaust filter or maybe spark arrestor (not sure exactly what it was) was totally clogged. As soon as we took it out the generator worked perfectly! Hopefully your issue is something small like that.
Glad that the generator is under warranty and you can exchange it. Maybe you can get the solar system up and going before much longer. Looks like Y'all had a good time at the Expo. That chicken wasn't too happy with you. Loved Brandi saying she's telling her friends. Then it seems it upset her when you have them to the pigs. Be careful out in the heat. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
My grandmother use to keep two separate pens, side by side,for her chickens. One for her brood hen(s) to hatch and raise babies, with a wire cover over it, and the other for eating and selling eggs. This way you can raise chicks to keep your chickens replenished, just put a different rooster in with her every once in a while. "Rotate the stock", as my grandmother would say. Then with the other chickens that have no rooster, let the kids sell eggs at a local farmers market or advertise at the road or wherever saying your have fresh eggs to sell. You will have people buying them.
When you take the eggs they don't see what happens to them. This time 🐔😳 did. The one that sits on them must have been in her glory. Look at all these eggs! She's is willing to keep them all warm to hatch. The🐔 like Noooo! Maybe try to be discreet and dumping them away from their direct view. I hope she gets over the shock. I was wondering if you can use dry gas as well as, dumping the water as someone said? Like they've done in cars gas tanks? I love watch your channel.Thank you for talking your time to do them. You put such hard work into everything.
Sounds like you're going to go through 4 generator's like your friends did, hope you get the insurance on this next one. We love our propane capable generator, it's not quite as loud as gas and will run for a month or more on a 100lb bottle.
I watched "Off the Ranch"... in one of his videos he has a shack that runs solar and has a Cummins generator connected to his solar unit. So when it's cloudy or raining the generator kicks in and charges the batteries, and when it's sunny, the generator is off and uses only solar to charge the batteries
Alot of ppl dont stop n think these ppl like dutch share their lives their families their struggles an successes thats personal sometimes n they don't get the appropriate appreciation they deserve good luck dutch love u an family I pray u don't have anymore problems
I signed to the Kreke Family. .. I'm sure I will like their channel. I watch a You Tube channel that's called A Tribe Of Many. They have 10 kids #11 on the way. Love y'all channel. God bless.
BTW, so now that you know it might be a not so good unit and might have problems, when you do this exchange this time, I'd ask about that extended warranty and consider adding it on for the peace of mind and not be stuck with it when or if it quits working again.
Brandi I know about watching favorite youtubers. I was talking to my brother today about getting chickens. And what my friends do about their chickens. He thought it was cool. Hope ya'll have a wonderful night. Love you guys.
cummings diesel are very reliable there was a truck I think it was Chevy or dodge or ford that put in there trucks as a option thumbs up for that diesel
Those are called an Onan generator they use them in campers but they make them from 2500 Model up to I think 12,000 model they are a industrial generator I had one and a camper for 25 years as long as you change the oil in them
@@bendy1808 yeah, I have a Chevy 2002, great truck but it’s known to lose all the injectors and that’s what has happened to me. At $1000. Per injector it’s an expensive repair and it’s got 5 injectors, it still is driving great but has no pulling power. I love my Chevy truck and will continue to drive that diesel till my end!
you gave the eggs without shells to the pis then let the shells dry . make them small and give the shells back to the chicanes as extra calcium feed so you het strong eggs ;-) . good luck
Subscribed to Kreke family and said you suggest their channel. Always one thing after another breaking down Hope the generator warranty works for you ok. You have enough on your plate Thanks for being so open on yesterday’s vlog. Happy for your family. You thought it thru and have done what is right for your family. In the meantime building your investment thru your own sweat equity. All the best
What I love about you Dutch, when you don't know how to do things, you are willing give it a try and then comes that wonderful LAUGH of yours when you can't do it! That broodie is pure evil !!! Then all the chicken's line of at the pig fence looking at ALL at all of their eggs you guys gave the pigs!!! You guys are SO NEAT !! Makes and OLD LADY like me HAPPY!!
Told you before that that’s why they invented the hat you’ve got on your head! Take it off your head by the bill and hold it over the chicken so she can’t pick at you get your eggs then put the hat back on. It works every time!! Try it you’ll like it!👲💞
Brandi you're too cute, family of 11 living in a tiny house, I think we have something in common...yes you do , you BRAVE WOMEN I hear your ROAR! Now do a victory dance. :)
Goodness gracious, that's a lot of eggs... Those expos are great for sharing knowledge with like minded people. I'm praying that taking it apart doesn't nullify the warranty. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you and your family.
I don’t think it would void a warranty especially when you have to take it apart to clean or change the filter, did you see where it was? Crazy how it’s put together!
you're very blessed, to know and speak to your grand maw. I never knew my one or what she sounded like or looked like. but I did send her a letter when I was a very young kid. and just the other day I saw a TH-cam channel that said , cb radio is about to be moved to the FM band.?
Dutch, tearing into projects is how you learn. If you got water in the fuel, you'll have to drain all of the carburetor, it's bowl plug take screws out and count you turns when doing it. Thanks for sharing Iowa cares
Hey Dutch, when you return the generator, it doesn’t give you another 90 days warranty. Your original warranty will still be used and you will only have 60 days left. So, if there’s anyway possible, try and get your warranty extended or buy the extended warranty.
I just went over & subbed. Love their content so far, I've only watched half the video. But, I had to come back to y'all & finish y'all video. Blessings to you & your's
Oh no that's awful the 9000 went bad. Wishing you luck. I sounded like everyone had a good time at the expo. God bless you all. Your girls are so sweet.
Living off the grid and not being mechanically inclined… you must like punishment! 😬 How generous you were/are to mention our channel. If we had only know who you were at the time the conversation would have been a little different. Julie and I both mentioned that we probably would really enjoy hanging out with your family. It would be a huge honor to have you all stay on our property if you ever come through the St. Louis area. Also if you ever want a hand with a project please don’t hesitate asking. I’d love to see your bandsaw setup. Nailed the pronunciation! By the way your followers speak so very highly of both of you. God bless you guys!
The expo looked great. Lots of great information. That wood splitter was very interesting. Hope you can get the first phase of your solar up and going. Keep up the hard work. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
Keeping it dutch, my friend ebay has replacement carbs for those generators for like $13 trust me buy 3 and keep them on hand for when it's cold out well worth the investment if you live off grid, always keep a backup generator for when you're main one goes down so your not without power while working on your newest one 😉 hope this helps you brother stay safe stay blessed!!!! 💯😁
We have bought our predator almost 2 years ago. Done very little maintenance to it, and its a predator 9000, and it still running for us, we use it almost everyday about 2 to 3 hours a day sometimes even more if its very hot. And we've had very little problems with it. We bought it at Harbor Freight at a discount. So maybe it was a blessed one.
I read for your comments before I come in I was thinking that someone would have given you the answer, if your generator is low on oil it will automatically cut off. It's a wonderful Fail-Safe. I thought those who knew would have informed you. Be blessed
Don't throw out your eggs or give them all to the pigs. They should be good. They weren't washed so they are just fine. Do a float test if you need to. I just had a bunch of eggs that were sitting in a dish outside for days. I did the float test and they sank which means they are fine. We ate them and they are good.
Unwashed eggs last for months. They sure waste a lot!
@@lewismorris5931 I believe their main concern was that with the broody hen sitting on them, some would have started to develop chicks inside already.
Your dead line is Winter. Hope you have better time to get stuff done. that log splinter was amazing.
I'm very happy that your generator is still under warranty. Plus I enjoyed your footage of that expo you was at. Yes that hen was mad , I've had hens in the past sitting and when you move them from the nest they do get mad and she was telling the other chickens about it I believe because I had a little rooster to they to flog me because I moved a sitting hen from the nest before lol.

If you got the generator from Harbor Freight get the 2 year warranty and you can keep exchanging it for a long time.
Back in the Day I used rubbing alcohol to remove water from gas in my car. Pour a half bottle in the tank.
You can use a technique
called water glassing egg's.
They can store up 🐣 🐔
to several's month's.
Hi, I came over from Julie & Jason's channel, I love your channel too.
Thank you for giving them a shout out
Cause they really deserve it.
See you next time. 👍💕💕
Sean Brandy and family, I'm glad your generator is still under warranty and hopefully you'll be able to get it exchanged at that local store.

Love that idea!
Gas cans sitting around will get water in them from condensation.
I'm hearing the best generator that you can buy is the Bluetti AC200P 2000 solar generator power station
With your broody hen, either separate her, where other hens cant lay more eggs and give her 12 eggs to hatch. Or if you want stop her being broody, separate her into a small cage without a nest and keep her there for about 5 days. To speed up process give her underside a cold soaking and lock the rooster up with her.
Good luck.
Hope, you need to get those eggs. Even if it's hot out.
Ya'll need a wicker basket for your eggs 👍
Dag gum I was in Marshfield Saturday I wish I would have went over to the Ozark homesteaders festival. I almost pulled in there.
Let Brandi know she’s not alone. I was totally starstruck when we met you. Thanks for being the same guy in person you are on TH-cam.

The chickens lined up outside the pig pen was funny. They must have been checking to see what treats the pigs were getting.
Brandy I enjoy seeing you more on here especially being hands on building with Dutch.
Thank goodness you could get a new generator. Everything is coming along. Very happy for you guys.
Pushed the wrong button,filling station may have just got a new load of fuel in bad time to buy fuel,should always use stabilizer especially if buying ethanol,just a thought,love you guy's, keep'm coming
Really like hearing all Your stories I have watched Kerakeys spelling wrong but watch them a lot like You
Love your family your Girls are workers keep up all the good work God bless
Try some stuff called Sea Foam from a Auto Parts store. Good for displacing water and treating gas. You might check the spark plugs also.
I can do that with a saw blade my dad owned a meat market and the saw blade to cut the shank meat you had a blade like that kind of like a band saw. You had to take it apart each night to clean it.

Alot of ppl dont stop n think these ppl like dutch share their lives their families their struggles an successes thats personal sometimes n they don't get the appropriate appreciation they deserve good luck dutch love u an family I pray u don't have anymore problems
eggs last a couple weeks at room temps if yer worried crack them in a bowl b4 using.
I signed to the Kreke Family. .. I'm sure I will like their channel. I watch a You Tube channel that's called A Tribe Of Many. They have 10 kids #11 on the way. Love y'all channel. God bless.
I had to laugh when you said they were your friends but they didn’t know it, Brandy. I can’t be the only one that feels this way about y’all. 😉
BTW, so now that you know it might be a not so good unit and might have problems, when you do this exchange this time, I'd ask about that extended warranty and consider adding it on for the peace of mind and not be stuck with it when or if it quits working again.
Brandi I know about watching favorite youtubers. I was talking to my brother today about getting chickens. And what my friends do about their chickens. He thought it was cool. Hope ya'll have a wonderful night. Love you guys.
I’ve always used Onan generators the same kind they use in campers and it’s made by Cummings they are commercial generator last for ever
cummings diesel are very reliable there was a truck I think it was Chevy or dodge or ford that put in there trucks as a option thumbs up for that diesel
Those are called an Onan generator they use them in campers but they make them from 2500 Model up to I think 12,000 model they are a industrial generator I had one and a camper for 25 years as long as you change the oil in them
25 yrs that's incredible we have solar panels that last 25 years or more the power out put is a 25yr warranty cummings engines have a good reputation
Onan is the best made!
@@bendy1808 yeah, I have a Chevy 2002, great truck but it’s known to lose all the injectors and that’s what has happened to me. At $1000. Per injector it’s an expensive repair and it’s got 5 injectors, it still is driving great but has no pulling power. I love my Chevy truck and will continue to drive that diesel till my end!
Spark, fuel and compression. All 3 easy to check. You can do it Dutch.
you gave the eggs without shells to the pis then let the shells dry . make them small and give the shells back to the chicanes as extra calcium feed so you het strong eggs ;-) . good luck
Subscribed to Kreke family and said you suggest their channel.
Always one thing after another breaking down Hope the generator warranty works for you ok. You have enough on your plate
Thanks for being so open on yesterday’s vlog. Happy for your family. You thought it thru and have done what is right for your family. In the meantime building your investment thru your own sweat equity. All the best
So much to do. Those expo’s are quite valuable to all people! Never saw a wood splitter that fast! Awesome video.
Take a breath, it will fall in to place when it is supposed to
What I love about you Dutch, when you don't know how to do things, you are willing give it a try and then comes that wonderful LAUGH of yours when you can't do it! That broodie is pure evil !!! Then all the chicken's line of at the pig fence looking at ALL at all of their eggs you guys gave the pigs!!! You guys are SO NEAT !! Makes and OLD LADY like me HAPPY!!
When I first saw the generator I thought you drove over it. lol
😂😂😂
I thought it exploded
@@klsetzer1967 Hehe that was my first thought too. It sort of did explode, slowly - with a wrench.
That's funny!! I thought it exploded!!! That momma chicken was a riot!!! I loved when Brandi said, "she's telling her friends"!!!
I actually first thought it exploded too or caught on fire, LOL! 😂
Love you channel keep it up you are my favorite Channel out of a very lot that's all I watch is homestead channels take care Love you all
Told you before that that’s why they invented the hat you’ve got on your head! Take it off your head by the bill and hold it over the chicken so she can’t pick at you get your eggs then put the hat back on. It works every time!! Try it you’ll like it!👲💞
Brandi you're too cute, family of 11 living in a tiny house, I think we have something in common...yes you do , you BRAVE WOMEN I hear your ROAR! Now do a victory dance. :)
Goodness gracious, that's a lot of eggs...
Those expos are great for sharing knowledge with like minded people.
I'm praying that taking it apart doesn't nullify the warranty.
Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you and your family.
I don’t think it would void a warranty especially when you have to take it apart to clean or change the filter, did you see where it was? Crazy how it’s put together!
@@dorothyallen3614
I forgot that he mentioned having to dismantle it to change the filter.
Good catch !
you're very blessed, to know and speak to your grand maw. I never knew my one or what she sounded like or looked like. but I did send her a letter when I was a very young kid.
and just the other day I saw a TH-cam channel that said , cb radio is about to be moved to the FM band.?
Dutch, tearing into projects is how you learn. If you got water in the fuel, you'll have to drain all of the carburetor, it's bowl plug take screws out and count you turns when doing it. Thanks for sharing Iowa cares
I think the chickens were looking in the pig pen and saying, "We went to all that work, and you're just feeding them to the pigs." 🤬 lol
lol
Hey Dutch, when you return the generator, it doesn’t give you another 90 days warranty. Your original warranty will still be used and you will only have 60 days left. So, if there’s anyway possible, try and get your warranty extended or buy the extended warranty.
I hope Sean see this comment. That’s very good knowledge and advice.
I’d get my money back and buy a Honda! They cost more but you do get what you pay for.
At the beginning he said he had the generator for 8 months or more, then at the end of the video he says he's had it for about a month.?
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 thanks, I was confusing the two
@@judd_s5643 I would try and get a refund as well, but probably too late now.
I just went over & subbed. Love their content so far, I've only watched half the video. But, I had to come back to y'all & finish y'all video. Blessings to you & your's
Sorry about your generator 😔 I hope you don't have any trouble getting another one. God bless ❤🙏🇺🇸
Oh no that's awful the 9000 went bad. Wishing you luck. I sounded like everyone had a good time at the expo. God bless you all. Your girls are so sweet.
Okay went and watched the Homestead Convention video and subscribed. Told them you sent us over.
You are truly blessed to have a great and hardworking father-in-law. He seems like a sweetheart…..so does your mother-in-law.
Living off the grid and not being mechanically inclined… you must like punishment! 😬 How generous you were/are to mention our channel. If we had only know who you were at the time the conversation would have been a little different. Julie and I both mentioned that we probably would really enjoy hanging out with your family. It would be a huge honor to have you all stay on our property if you ever come through the St. Louis area. Also if you ever want a hand with a project please don’t hesitate asking. I’d love to see your bandsaw setup.
Nailed the pronunciation!
By the way your followers speak so very highly of both of you.
God bless you guys!
So proud of all you all do. It’s a lot of work. Love your channel& your family. Always wishing you the best! 😆😄😃
The expo looked great. Lots of great information. That wood splitter was very interesting.
Hope you can get the first phase of your solar up and going. Keep up the hard work. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
Always loved eggs with my bacon
Keeping it dutch, my friend ebay has replacement carbs for those generators for like $13 trust me buy 3 and keep them on hand for when it's cold out well worth the investment if you live off grid, always keep a backup generator for when you're main one goes down so your not without power while working on your newest one 😉 hope this helps you brother stay safe stay blessed!!!! 💯😁
Dutch, go Honda. Very quiet, ausome on fuel and a real work horse
We love you ad your beautiful family and videos keep them coming
Good evening prayers coming your way may your project fall in place God bless be safe love ya'll
Great job good luck with your generator. Enjoyable stuff thanks Dutch. Chris from England.
Dutch thanks for sharing, was going ask about your ticks with the chickens free ranged but you answered that
We have bought our predator almost 2 years ago. Done very little maintenance to it, and its a predator 9000, and it still running for us, we use it almost everyday about 2 to 3 hours a day sometimes even more if its very hot. And we've had very little problems with it. We bought it at Harbor Freight at a discount. So maybe it was a blessed one.
I hope you all are doing well stay safe
I read for your comments before I come in I was thinking that someone would have given you the answer, if your generator is low on oil it will automatically cut off. It's a wonderful Fail-Safe. I thought those who knew would have informed you. Be blessed
