25 KW generator

How in the heck would I tow this Bad Boy back to Miami with my Harley? :dunno:

 

Will it provide enough power to charge my cell phone?? :dunno:

 

I've done business with Bart on other boards, he's a straight shooter.

 

Generator

Ive been looking for one to put in the bed of my truck to power my camper..this one is a tad overkill...but reading this post reminds me of a couple weeks ago I did see a couple SUV's towing big bad generators on trailers..they looked like milsurp maybe out of Fort Campbell KY

 

Still got your generator?

 

will you email me some more pictures? also, can you supply me with the weight of it and your address? I would like to make an informed decision. you can send this information to robb at netstep dot net if you prefer thanks.

 

That price still seems a bit high to me. I just went and looked at a 30KW diesel with less hours and a bit newer for less than what you're asking for this, and it was also a heavy industrial unit....

 

That certainly is a nice unit. No electronic voltage regulators etc. which is a plus. I'm not too familiar with that engine, are parts still available for it?? I've been around lots of diesels powering various equipment, none of them have a 70% load, and some of the ones on the drilling rigs have more idle time, light loads on the cable rigs and we've never had a carbon problem. I have seen it though on some of the very old diesel engines but those were antiques...

 

I have the twin brother to that unit. My Dad does actually. We were a dairy farm before switching to strawberries, x-mas trees, and so on. Ours runs on gasoline. Has only 45 hours on it!! We're at the end of the line so we used it during power outages to keep our milk cold. Now that we're no longer a dairy farm we just use it to keep our shop functional during power outages. It is wired to our barn, shop, main house, and employee apartment. When we run it, we try to turn about everything on. The more we turn on, the better it runs. We can weld fantastically while under gen power. Better than under public power. We've halfheartedly been looking for another one of these units to run my house and my sugarhouse (maple syrup operation with oil fired evaporator that needs electricity) which are both located across the road from the main farm. Otherwise we'd pipe em into our existing unit. Although we're located in NH, for the right price, we'd consider a road trip after the salt is off all the roads
