Here is my lawn tractor running on wood. Now I will need to build attachments to generate electricity and process wood, etc.

It should be able to run up to 15-20hp generator. It would be more than enough for a house or small farm. I just finished it so haven't went beyond a 15hp motor. I think it will eat up about 20lbs of processed wood an hour. I process the wood to about 1- 1 1/2" blocks

Britesea, I built 7 boxes 39"x75" that are 10-12" tall. I made them the size of twin beds so I can cover them if hail is in the forecast or the frost hits us early. I have a cat the patrols our yard constantly. She reminds us how well she is doing by leaving her victims at our doorstep...

I am trying Kohlrabi, squash, cukes, Zucchini a variety of peppers, eggplant. This year is the first time I tried raised beds. I am new to the thought of self sufficiency. Although I participated in gardening and butchering when I was young.

Hi woodchuck, I am just about to finish my wood gasifier. I have a donor lawn tractor to experiment with. Once I get it to run, I will try and apply some hydraulics and generator for it.

Visiting Truth or Consequences New Mexico is what gave me belief that self sufficiency is very doable. Although the climate is completely different than Minnesota, adjustments can be made.
