Harbor Freight predator. Had one for 5 years now. use it more or less once a year. Ran it for 8 days during an ice storm a couple years ago. starts right up every time. its the smallest one with 220V so i can run my well, i think 4500 watts and i paid $270 new. Its not a Honda of course, but for emergency use only you just cant beat the payback. May run your minisplit which is probably 220V. TIP – when looking at something to run your minisplit or any large device – you cant just look at the wattage. you need to check the amps on the particular circuit. 4500/220= 20.45 amps but the circuit is limited to 13 amps.

Did Turkeys for T-day this year for the first time. we put them in a chicken tractor. after they were decent size, 5-6 weeks or so, we let them out during the day. as long as you get them back before sundown they are easy to push back in. after that they seem like they cant see. no flight issues. they struggled to get up on my trampoline. they do a great job cleaning up under fruit trees and they like to eat full size slugs. aside from the giant poop they were not really much of a problem. 15.5 weeks they averaged 16lbs cleaned. used about 50lbs of feed each.

Its just the work. We both work full time so come fall we are out there in the dark moving, feeding, watering. Makes everything more difficult. We hated it. Constant rain sucks too, but that’s usually hit and miss.
