I have an older model Generac 0052400 home generator, which is 120/240 AC, 7000watt system. It has been well maintained but with this past storm, it did not switch on when power went out. I checked and battery was dead. I put new battery in but within a couple of days, battery was dead. I checked battery and it is good. Upon researching I noted, one of the common issues is the T1 fuse; however, when I opened up the transfer box there are only 2 fuses. I checked both and they both tested ok at 120V. When I charge the battery, the system runs perfectly but it quickly drains the battery, even when not running. Any ideas? Also, should there be three fuses verses 2 (all videos show 3???)

Appreciate the assistance.

Team any input between Liugong 9018f and Rippa R18 Pro? Same quality or is Liugong better.

Have an opportunity to buy a 3 year old Garage kept Liugong with 26 hours on it for $16,500 versus new Rippa 18 Pro for $18K. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Good morning guys. I am torn between purchasing a Huayee HY18 or SHY15 and a Rippa R18 Pro. I understand the price point and capability differences in the units. Also, does ANY ONE have any experience with the Eagle ED3100 mini excavator? I cannot seem to find very much info on the units in way of personal reviews.

My property has a 20-25% degree slope, so I am concerned about free wheeling but I believe this has been addressed in all of the above models (not sure about the ED3100) but would appreciate any personal thoughts.

The closest mini excavator dealership that sales a Rippa is about 45 minutes from my house. The dealership says they are an authorized Rippa dealership; however, Rippa's web site does not list them as an authorized dealerships. Is this just an oversite on Rippa's website? How can I confirm if they are a true Rippa authorized dealer?

Secondly, I like the Huayee but the nearest dealership is about 3 hours away and they will not have anymore units in until sometime in August and I need to get a project done before August. Does any one have any experience in buying a Huayee from a different dealership and having them warrantied (parts and repair) at the more local dealership? I am concerned that local dealership would not want to provide the same level of support to me as they do the customers who bought directly from them but as I said, they are out of the units until August.

Appreciate any thoughts.
