Does anyone make a gasoline/diesel powwered planer/moulder??

The grid is too far away at this point..three phase gen set is my second choice....

No that I know of?

I'd think the genset would be the first choice because that open up all sorts of machinery options. You can run  not just the planer, but the chip collector and any other machinery you add later.  Plenty of good used 3 phase machinery can be had for a good prices because it's needs that power supply, which a lot of potential buyers don't have.

That does make the most sense.  I have fairly large genset (50 kw) but it isnt very portable and I was kinda dreamin when I asked(thread title)  ;D

It wouldn't be hard to retrofit a floor model planer/molder to use a gasoline engine. Especially the woodmaster/rbi/belsaw style. Just mount a 10hp horizontal shaft engine in the base and hook it up with a belt.
