I have the 7k model and it's awesome, we used it for 5 straight months from 7 pm to 8 am and it runs everything in hour house during hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
We're looking at one of these lately- The costs are All-Over the place for 11KW - As far as the wagon, why did you have one custom built when you could have bought a flat gorilla wagon? Are you happy with this generator? where did you purchase that is trusted site?
I wonder if it will overheat if I swapped my onan 5.5kw gas generator out under my 5th wheel rv. My onan is aircooled so I think it would probably do fine. This would run everything in my rv and still get better fuel economy then the onan
Chuck I don't really know, I guess it would depend how many amps the AC unit would pull o start up. I would think it would if with everything else in your electrical panel was turned off and left off. I would also turn the ac unit down to 68 or less so that it does not cycle on/off. I'm not a electrician or ac technecian this is only my opinion. hope this helps.
My first thought was damn that's a very loud generator for being a diesel. But I then read the part where he said it's running at 3600rpm which explains the noise. But at that rate, I would never buy something like that unless it was an 1800rpm unit instead of 3600rpm. There's a huge difference in sound between the two. Of course that says nothing about how much longer an 1800rpm generator will last vs a 3600 rpm unit.
Charlie any chance of getting pics of the undercarriage? Trying to figure how axels and steering point are made. Do you remember where you ordered the wheels and hubs? It is truly a great set up.
Hi Robert, I don't have any piwww.pemcofl.com/trailers/products/specialty.html ctures of the underside but the link below built/supplied hubs tires I gon online or northern tool sells them.
I purchased one for my food trailer and would not recommend. Most events make us run quiet generators and this unit is too loud. It says its less than 65db however we tested it and are getting about 75db at 25 feet. We have been having to rent a 20kw towable generator from Sunbelt Rentals and they are super quiet. Im trying to sell my GL unit now
I think its useless as a food based or recreational generator. It is more suited for construction and emergency uses since diesel engines in gensets are based a lot more for endless reliability and fuel efficiency as opposed to quietness, comfort, and convenience...
I have the same generator on my food trailer. I run it while traveling. Then switch to a harber freight 9500 for quite operation. The Kubota is very reliable and is noisy but for traveling and as a backup gen it fits nicely. Harbor freight 9500 is a quiet inverter gen that's basically a throw away as they can't handle long hours of continuous use. By combining the two I have no problems running them in there intended use.
I had it built in Miami, FL by a company called PEMCO, the link is below. I can't find the drawings/sketches I used but I think I just used the size of the generator adding an additional a total of 2" to the length and width and used the forklift lifting points on the generator with the existing holes for mounting. I did order/provide the tires to Pemco. Let me know if you need anything else. www.pemcofl.com/trailers/products/specialty.html
The attached link/specs has everything about the generator. It should run 7 hours full load and 10.4 half load. generator.kubota.com/products/60hz/gl_11000.html
It's 50' from my house, with the windows/doors closed I can't hear it. You should look into a 1800 RPM diesel, a gas Honda or a Get a windmill.. thanks for lookig
