    Which of these three generators do you like the best comparison

    I will source 55gallon drums of synthetic oil, to be honest I should be doing that with my dino oil lol I have a temp gun and that is a great idea to map the temp readings to help diagnose poor running issues in the future. I just ordered a ir tachometer for my 002s so I can adjust them to 1800...

    Which of these three generators do you like the best comparison

    Thanks so much for that explanation. Let me ask you a Q. Since the kohler I plan to by is a 30kw standbuy gen it’s actually only a 27kw continuos power correct so should I figure 50% load @ 1/2 of 27kw? I think I will be @ 21-25kw load in the day time and will run my 005 at night at about 34kw

    Dayum that’s a lot. I think most tier 4 units have an electronic gov. I decided to purchase the kohler with the Deere 3cyl turbo for fuel consumption reasons. But thanks for all the info

    The fuel buen in the Deere will save me a ton of money. Over time. Are turbo engines more prone to wet stacking? The 35 kw kohler only has 80 hours or so more on it than the kubota but is a grand less which pass for my first engine rebuild. The oil selection here is awful. I can’t find rótella...

    Which of these three generators do you like the best comparison

    I will also have three 005s and three 002s. So if any of my gensets goes down I have a backup. What do you think of fuel consumption and longevity of a turbo vs N/a diesel? I agree four smaller pistons should put lest strain on the rotating assm and therefore live a longer life and less...
