    Champion generators, any good?

    This past spring I used the same champion generator for work. We used it 3 days a week for 4+ hours a day for over 6 weeks. The unit works well. It started right up with a few pulls. Didn’t seem to burn a bunch of fuel. I will say it seemed that the rated output on the box might be slightly...

    Loader tractor build - Research & Suggestions

    Loader tractor build - Research & Suggestions
