Cambridge, southwestern Nebraska | Pto generator on a tractor. I have my box at the meter to hook on on. Never used it so far In 25 years. I have an agreement with a neighbor to use his pto generator intermittently if we need to warm up the house in exchange for him using my tractor.
I have used a small gas powered generator to run the refrigerator and freezer once or twice.
Our worst blizzards and ice storms normally happen in the spring when the weather warms up pretty quickly.
We have a good electric company that gets our power back on pretty quickly. |
