I got similar results using a chain saw with a Westinghouse portable generator rated at 1500/1000. Apparently the chain saw draws a lot more power during startup of the chain and when actually cutting thru wood. I was cutting small branches off a fallen tree. Chain saw label says it is rated at 120 volts, 9 amps which is 1080 watts. Clearly pulling more than that under a load. Tripped the breaker on the generator lots of times and had to keep pressing the reset button.

Good video! Mine has been in the crate in my shed since June 2023. I just finished my custom trailer build and have the track assembled. Now to assemble the head and begin making sawdust. I haven’t milled anything since I sold my old mill last year! Check out my trailer build video if you are interested. Thanks, youtube.com/@haggetthill?si=bCNmvbVQfq1FSqzF

Owning a saw mill is a dream of mine. I appreciate the review so that i can figure out what direction to go in when buying

how big is your foam ball?

About how many cuts do you get before needing a sharpening?

My major concern about generators is their noise since I mainly camp in Provincial Parks. How does this compare with a Honda or Champion ultra quiet?

Good video. I just finished my DIY trailer build for my HM122 and am about ready to put the mill together and install it on the trailer. It’s been in the crate in my shed for over a year. I haven’t milled since I sold my old mill in June of last year. Ready to start making sawdust again.

What’s the name and address for parts and where is the hydraulic filter located Please Thanks

where did you find the seat belt retractor? I am having trouble finding one.

Just about to buy stain for 500 ft. of decking. Enjoy your channel. Great review of sawmill.

soooo glad I watched this!!! I have 2 gals that I'm about to go apply to a deck. straight to return and getting penofin oil like I've done before..

I put mine in the start position and it started the first pull.

you have a good start on applying preservative on the end grain. do apply more preservative to the beams and posts, and youll be happy for many years to come. I love your project, and I applaud you.

i have same one with yamaha run TT 13500 OK if you keep her under shade

So many people in the comments asking if it will run this or if it will run that. Folks, it will run 1800W which is 1800W/120V= 15A. Almost every electrical appliance has the load printed on it in watts of power or amps of current at 120Volts. So long as everything you plug into the generator is drawing less than 1800W steady or 2300W peak it will work. If you run something right up at that limit it might not handle it. Hoping a generator will be big enough is not a good strategy. You are better off determining what load you want to run and choosing a generator with capacity that exceeds the load.

I have an older AI 2000 surge watt 1600 running watt generator. It can easily run my 14000 BTU LG window AC unit because the LG has built in soft start technology. At startup only the fan draws power. Then the power draw increases slowly to ramp up the compressor. Maximum power draw is only about 730 watts. Soft start technology is a real winner for AC units!

I've made several purchases from wiggy. Everything was always well made. I have numerous sleeping bags from various vendors that use synthetics with most being military bags including Carinthia which I consider the absolute gold standard but I reach for my Wiggy's bag just as often as I reach for my carinthia bags. Vertex also sells a really nice bag similar to Carinthia. From my dealings I believe wiggy's sleeping pads are the most under rated products he sells. I absolutely love my pad. It is the toughest most reliable piece of gear in my sleep system.

thank you

Hi, new subscriber here. Just picked up a chainsaw sharpener similar to yours. Like you didn’t want to pay the outrageous cost of a sharpener so thanks for the great tutorial video on how to use the grinder. Take care

Excellent video! Will this generator run a cpap machine all night on 1 tank of gas?

By the way my JD 440 is a 1959 as well. And I am a 1959😂

This is one of the better videos I've seen, I need to adjust my steering brake and clutch but most of the information I've seen thus far has just pictures through the hole, this one helps you see exactly what's going on to make more sense of doing the adjustment

Hard to beat Motor oil and kerosene or diesel

Nice video. You can calculate watts to amps and figure out what size generator you need before buying it and trying it. It's rated at 1800 run watts so that's what it runs. I work with generators for my company and have several of them for different tools I'm operating.

I have one of these and not even 30 hours of use it stopped and will not work. The company sent me a new part to fix it but it is still dead. Still fighting with them to get it fixed. Not worth buying as far as I am concerned

I bought the 3800 version of this and it would not power a 15 amp 120 volt welder. I returned it back to Costco.

It can run a small 5000 BTU (1465 W) AC window unit just fine. Lasted me about 8 hours exactly. The remaining 335 W (1800-1465) is good enough to also power my refrigerator, TV, charge phones, and various other small devices.

How is this holding up? It looks like a good idea.

Will it run a coffee maker?

Good review! I have the same generator. I was also hoping to be able to use it for the camper A/C, but even after adding a soft start kit, the power demands of the compressor at startup are too much for this generator. Watching the indicator panel, the voltage readout drops from 124 way down to about 60 volts as soon as the compressor kicks in on my Dometic Penguin, which is much too low. Other A/Cs may not have the same problems with startup current demands, but I can't use the A/C as I had hoped. I have also heard that Honda and other generators with the same wattage have bigger displacement motors which seems to help them provide enough power to start the A/C. It does work well with my electric edger/weed whacker, which is 10 amps/1200 watts. I like using that for heavy edging, and I can just roll the generator where I need it and use 100' of heavy duty power cord. On the start of the video, it looks like you didn't turn it all the way to the start position (full choke) and just set it to the word "choke" which is actually mid choke. Start position works much better when cold.

Yes

Looks like we will be using the patio door for a while! 😂

How's it running since you made the video?

The North Face once was a company that was no questions asked when it came to their Lifetime Warranties. If it was broke, if it was degrading from UV rays If the seams started leaking or coming apart they replaced it no questions asked.. These day The North Face 95% of the time will refuse to replace and call it age degradation. Wiggy's seems to have gone down that path as well, how much is to be seen. This is their website attached comments to their lifetime Warranty claim. "However, we reserve the right to examine any returned sleeping bag and will make the decision whether the return is justified depending on the appearance of the bag, demonstrating whether it has been properly cared for or shows signs of abuse". Based on the response you received about the residue from the man behind the curtain himself, I can see a bad reputation of fix it if it's broken. I just picked one of these beast up at a local SAVERS thrift store for $8.99 with the compression sack in absolutely prime condition, may be an older model as it has a double pull tab zipper.

How can anyone sleep in a hammock? My body would be screaming in pain.

I was wanting to get this for backpacking what litre backpack would you recommend.?

Great review. Does the charmast box get hot at all?

Hey guys the past the big number 1000 ! The shed looks awesome it will keep the weather out :) I love my woodland mills HM 122, I've done a lot of cutting in the last year on mine, I cut a lot of 1" for siding that will be going on my cabin in a couple weeks when i get back from my road trip :)) Fishing !

Great video ! The beam looks awesome & strong I'll check out see how your mill is running :)

Thank you for this video. Jesús Christ bless all of you, Amén.

We have a love Saskatoon tree that we have been freezing and freeze drying. Today, we plan on making jam!! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing

Where did you get the tooth setter?

For such a small machine it really is a beast. I got a 59 44 0 track model as well. I am a 1959 model myself 🤭

I used to live in Grand Junction Colorado not very far from where they are made I myself have never used one but was cool to see a video on WIGGYS.

Good video thanks.

Get ahold of framer john he probably has the right air breather

Thanks Sooooo much for this video!!!!!!👍👍👍👍its gonna be my first time ever buying a generator for back for my rent house here in Houston TX...it get very hot here and u can never be caught without cool air in case we lose power during the summers here!!!😱TY

Thanks for the video I'm currently using the lucas mill I'm just wondering what's your technique to roll the heavy logs over do you just use a log grab

your videography skills are great,
