If you could get the light tower for $1500, would you buy it again?

So LED lights would work fine when there was no change in load? Thats good to know!

Yeah, I would check the oil the very least every few days at minimum if I had an aircooled (Spoiler, I wouldn't own an air cooled)

I guess I'll share some generator Beryl pics, just to pay it forward. I know we all love seeing hurricane power outage pics (Or, am I just weird?) 6 days and 6 hours on generator power until utility came back. Generator has a Mitsubishi 4G64 2.4L I4 engine, ran great Started with 24...

Thanks for that PDF, I'm saving that for sure Engine is the same as OP's, Kubota D1005

Under 3000, seems very good condition but no paperwork available that I know of Light towers around here usually have 15K+ hours

Do I pull the trigger for $1500 if I can talk the guy into that price?

Brushless per the spec sheet https://apelectric.com/content/PDF/Generac/MLT3060K%20Spec%20Sheet.pdf

I'm glad I found this thread! I am looking at an almost identical unit for $1500. Would you pull the trigger? I was worried about the power quality out of the Pancake generator end, and this thread confirmed what I was suspecting. Did you ever figure out a way to add some kind of AVR? We are in...

Good thinking about the fuel storage, that must be the reason as there are plenty of 1800 RPM Natural gas units What I say I'll do and what I actually do are always changing :p I probably won't pour a slab, I think a trailer or cart is something that makes sense

It won't be something I'd move often, but part of my want of a reliable genset is that we plan on buying land in the future, and of course we would need a genset. The Kubota could "easily" be put in my truck, and an MEP on a trailer could also be "easily" moved there I do wonder, why is there...

Actually, one mounted on a trailer with a 100 gallon fuel tank and pump so I can move the fuel, would be awesome

Yeah, a 1040 or an 803A would be ideal The downside is they are not really portable at all unless I mount one to a small trailer (The military trailer is a bit big!)

I ended up listing in on Marketplace for $850 and got endless messages, sold it same day to a guy who has an identical unit with a dead generator end So I get a free hoist and D rings etc, and a good profit, and I got to play with one!

Well this came to a sad end, it does not turn over, completely locked up Old oil filter...

Not sure why those images didn't all post in line? Hopefully you guys can see them all!

Thanks! if I get stuck I will for sure shoot you a message Getting this guy out my truck was HARD, its so heavy and the tank is full to the brim with Diesel too. Thankfully they designed the lifting handle really well (I also replaced all 4 bolts that hold it)

I feel like there was a lot of good discussion here and its been a while since I've been active here I held off on purchasing anything, and just this Monday I had some good luck. I just scored this non running Kubota GL7000 for $250! 2 years old, 3000~ hours running on some kind of oil drilling...

Yeah, taking it with a bag of salt. That price is about half what they usually sell for in this area, which was a big red flag Don't know if you saw it, but there is also a big X across the 120v receptacles

Just saw this locally. Very tempting for just $2000. https://houston.craigslist.org/hvd/d/humble-allmand-brothers-75kw-light/7520233018.html Good Diesel Engine, 1800RPM, Liquid Cooled, Towable! I could literally just push it into my back yard.
