I'm sure Reed will jump in with a more definitive answer, but, as I recall, the State of MN says that 10kw=1hp (for licensing). So 40KW should be about 4hp.

Why would I need to jump in?  You've got it covered.

Thanks Bob.  It's nice to have someone else get involved with answering some of the questions.  I hate to have it look like I personally dominate the message boards so much.

Kevin,

I deleted your email from the post.  Spam robots cruise message board sites and they add email addresses they find to their lists, so you would get more spam in your inbox if I left it.

If you want to post your email address, do something like "reed at sprungtraining.com" or maybe reed @ sprungtraining.com (with spaces around the "@"), so the robots don't recognized it.

Thanks for the replys!

What's up with these robots?  I thought they were supposed to make my life simpler?

They make life easier.  Just not for you.
