Currently my DIY "load bank" is turning all my AC's on, and the oven. In summer its easy, just do it when I'm cooking dinner and crank the AC In winter, I don't really want to crank the AC! Shame I don't have an EV, that would be a decent load bank and I could actually use the power Maybe I...

You must be right on the Kubota fuel level thing. Too much of a coincidence those numbers line up like that. Just poor communication from Kubota made it even more confusing One thing I do wish I had was a load bank. Would be interesting to get my Generac up near 25kw and see how it holds up...

Agreed. 20 hours at just a 1/4 load doesn't really line up with "Primary Power" Then, what does the lower KW number even mean?... Very weird Almost like they mean "Rated" 6.5kw and 7kw surge, and decided to say Prime 6.5kw and Standby 7kw

Those 3600 RPM NG units are just so darn loud, its not even the db's that does it, its the horrible pitch of the engine that just sounds harsh. I don't blame you for going with the 802, I bet that's a sweet setup Would be awesome to add it to a battery system, and have the gen kick on...

I would LOVE the 1030, but everything I saw showed they were not really available at all. That gives me hope! I'll add it to my list Honestly the 1030 looks perfect. I know the electronics make it harder to fix, but boy, I can't say no to a good LCD screen... Does the former light plant...

Here is my comparison spreadsheet, I'll have to update it with that Honda you linked above I think the GL11000 can be removed, as well as the 1040

Something maybe you guys can help with, is what exactly does the prime rating mean? Because those Kubotas are rated for prime usage, but in the book it states 20 hours max runtime, and only 10 if you are at full load. And that's not talking about fuel, that's talking about what the engine is...

I think the power should be plenty clean enough for what I need, after all my Generac is brushed too. All of the computers and electronics in the house are on double conversion UPS, so power input to those doesn't matter at all. The UPS will take anything without a complaint Yeah, I have pretty...

Thanks for the replies I think I could avoid wet stacking with a 10kw diesel, I would just make sure to get it up there in load for a good while every day. I think the 7kw unit would be just fine for that too. Agreed on the fuel, I wish I had some use for diesel so I could rotate it. All the...

Hey guys, I came across this forum after seeing someone post a video about an MEP-803a, and it got me interested. I'm looking to eventually get myself a very reliable Diesel Or Gasoline generator as a backup to my Natural Gas unit. I'm in Houston, TX so we may see hurricanes as well as the grid...
