[QUOTE="3fordasho, post: 3529530, member: 16254"] I finally pulled the trigger on the Supersplitter and went with the 1hp electric motor for power. 50% of my splitting is at home and 50% at the woodlot. The plan was to pick up a generator for at the wood lot (other uses for it too) It's not real clear just how much wattage is required for starting a 1hp motor, the run wattage is well known ~1200-1500 watts but starting wattage can be anywhere from 3x to 6x that or more. Anyone have any real world experience running a true 1hp single phase motor with a generator? I was looking at a 3000w continous, 3750w peak unit but am really wondering if that is big enough?
