Best for owners already considering a tractor-driven backup power setup who want honest load-testing numbers and a candid comparison of the two tractors under strain.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and family projects, presented in a casual, self-deprecating style with no apparent dealership affiliation, though the Hydros Plus turbo kit receives an unpaid but clearly enthusiastic mention.
The peak was 12.3 kilowatts, and at that load the frequency dropped below 50 hertz, which shut the dryer off.
The turbo version reached 15 kilowatts with the same loads running and never bogged down, unlike the stock tractor which struggled near 11 kilowatts.
The transcript says many homes are unknowingly loaded heavier on one leg, something the owner only discovered after hooking up the generator and watching amp readings differ between legs.
Number four copper cable was used, based on the reasoning that shorter cable runs can use smaller diameter conductors than longer runs.
