I'll bet it could be rewired into a really nifty welder, of course I'm not sure you could lift the rod necessary, let alone position the steel that thick.

Seriously though, did you get a heat exchanger / scavenger on it as well Billy? It is great when you lose power in the winter.

Best of luck.

They're called 'co-generators' I think (electricity plus heat) and this diesel may be big enough to make it worthwhile if it's going to be run frequently--or maybe sell power or heat to your neighbours and run the diesel a lot. Well, that idea probably run into trouble with some government thing or another.

I don't know what an integrator is but I'm curious.

Murf, it's just an emergency generator. The only thing it'll run is 48,000 sq ft of poultry houses (later I'll run it 'my' house). If the power was to go out, especially in the hot summertime with big chickens, they wouldn't last long without the fans.

Tom, We poultry growers grow for what they call an integrator. I'm not sure where or why the title came to be. Maybe it's because we were integrated into their system.

Sounds like a great set-up. I too am a chicken farmer. I have a total of 120 sq ft and 51 chickens Smile How many eggs do you produce? Are all your chickens of the same breed?

Thanks Billy! That sounds like what's called a marketing board here. Everybody except for very small producers receive a quota and have to sell to the board, which also does a bunch of regulation--maybe generators too. A woman I knew's husband worked for the Egg marketing board and described himself (university degree and all) as a professional egg counter. He probably got promoted by now. I hope so.
