    3-6kw gen advise needed

    Engine life only 2500hrs? That's less than a year of 10hr a day, 5 days a week. That sounds more like it is designed for ocassional stand by type use than continuous duty. Are you sure that # is correct? Are they air or water cooled?

    Wagon Trailer

    11Echo Thanks for the pics, especially this one. What is the name of this trailer? Happen to have a link to a PDF copy of the -20 manual for it? Rated to carry what kind of load? Deck length? Any chance of getting a good pic of the data plate that shows dimensions and capacities?

    Wagon Trailer

    Thank you for the responses so far. Since I have an excel spreadsheet with all the proper unit weights and quantities of the various "Stuff" I knew in my head the weight numbers, I just failed to properly transfer those numbers to my information request. Amazing what the lack of a single "0"...
