Re: [RE-wrenches] Small diesel generator

I don’t like those smaller kubota 3600rpm screemers, way to loud. But it’s not easy finding good quality 1800 rpm smaller units. If you want the highest quality, shop at marine stores. I found this one, MQ make great stuff https://www.multiquip.com/multiquip/DCA10SPXU4C.htm Jay Peltz power

Re: [RE-wrenches] Small diesel generator

Re: [RE-wrenches] Small diesel generator

Re: [RE-wrenches] Small diesel generator

I highly recommend the Kubota GL7000 or GL11000. They can be made to remote start with Atkinson controller or by remote key/switch assembly. I have the GL7000 personally and made it through the Texas Snowmageddon of ‘21. Purchased from here: https://www.coloradostandby.com/main/kubota-diese
