what is the recommended extension cord, 16/3 or 14/3 for a 50' length?

13.5 amps so you will want a 14-gauge extension cord rated for outdoor use.

Also plug into a GFI outlet in the house or a UL-listed outdoor outlet - to avoid potential electrocutions.

I initially purchased the 2-2/3" version and I was unable to get a 16-gauge 25' extension cord to plug in while also having the door closed. I had it bent in there to the point where I assumed I was going to break the wire inside the cord if I put any further pressure on it.

I mounted my unit about 2 feet away from an existing wall receptacle. If I had to use an extension cord, I would use a 13 or 15 amp rated extension cord for this purpose.

Any extension cord should work but i would suggest a heavy duty outdoor cord.

3/8 should work fine, if you want more piece of mind, use the 1/2 cord. I am amazed at the strength of the 3/8 red cord.

I use this 50 amp extension cord with the manufacturer's 25 ft cord when I need an extra long 55ft cord. This is an extension only and will not connect directly to the trailer.

Electric cord. A good extension cord will work up to as far as 100 feet if it is large gauge wire.

i would buy the adapter ends. They adapt 3 prong to 2 prong and cost about a buck . However,they do sell 3" extension cords that are 2 prong in local hardware stores. BEST BET IS TO SEARCH A BIT HARDER ON AMAZON

The cord on this unit is six feet in length. The cord is 71" plus the length of the cord cap gives you the extra inch. Manufacturers often frown on the use of extension cords but if one is required, use one that has 14 gauge or larger wire and keep it only as long as needed. A good example of this is the Coleman Cable 3531 14/3 General-Use Appliance Extension Cord, 3-Feet found at Coleman Cable 3531 14/3 General-Use Appliance Extension Cord, 3-Foot

16 awg is typically more than adequate. 14 gauge could be used for really long runs (over 100ft), or if you are pushing a lot of power to large front channels.

depends on the length of the cord, a 16/2 standard outdoor cord is fine for under 100 ft. Over that I would use a #14/2 cord

I've ordered and use 3/16, 1/4, & 5/16, and am beyond happy with all of them. 6" stretch on 24" cord is OK, not bad. You may be expecting more than this is designed to do? Sorry I couldn't help you any more, I am happy with all of these. Ken Hockin, Alvin, Texas

I use a regular 13amp low temp for flexibility 100' extension cord although a 15amp rated cord would be a better choice.

Manual says for 6 to 10 amp rating, use a minimum of 16 gauge for 26-50 foot cord. 14 Gauge for 51 to 100 foot cord. I use 16 gauge on a 25 foot cord. Larger is always better especially if you are going through tall grass or Bermuda like me. Hope this helps.

I used 2 x 100 ft. power cords, one I ordered when I bought this tiller: Coleman Cable 02309 16/3 Vinyl Outdoor Extension Cord, Orange, 100-Feet 16-gauge I had had a 12-gauge extension cord already and used both together- no problem.

less than 12", you need an extension cord. Buy the 100 foot cord they offer you for under $30, it's a good deal and it lets you cover a lot of ground, just be careful not to run over it and cut it or you will be needing electrical tape to splice it back together!

the plug from the mower is about 18 inches, so you will need a 50 foot extension cord.
