gonna start this week, hoping this rain will make it easier to get around the bush
surge did make a 100 direct drive, it had special motor on it that turned at 1100 rpm (I think that was the speed)
I had engines bolted directly to frame, your set up maybe better for that. even with braces on mine they would still crack now and then. and they seemed to eat belts. They would stall now and then on...
Anyone using this system? Pros/Cons. thanks in advance
I had gas engines, got away from them because of the problems. I run generators now with electric motors, 10 000 watt is lots for a 5hp motor. gas motor has a lot of vibration, you will have to beef...

when the bug bites..... we tapped also, it's seems very early but the 2 week forcast looks ok!
I've tried that stuff before, it collapses with higher vacuum.
by reinforced do you mean braided?
I have an ongoing problem with vibration, the gas engines make a lot of vibration compared to an electric motor, I've always chalked it up to that. I welded some bracing on mine from the 1 1/2" up to...
