Title: Gen Power generators.
Post by: mlappin on April 03, 2014, 10:47:03 PM

Anybody know anything about Gen Power brand generators?

Auction coming up down the road Saturday and they have a 15K PTO unit up for bids. 35K surge.

I've googled it and can't get any real information.

Looking into this for my Uncle so he can stop borrowing mine.

How do they figure doubling the output on surge? Seems like that would be hard on the tractor.

Katolight also has generators that have double the surge as the continuous rating. All copper windings and good cooling I guess.

Doesn't matter anyways, went for $3200 which was nuts in my opinion as you can get a fully automatic standby from Generac thats rated at 16K continuos for $3600.

How about a Duromax or Durostar 10kw?  Any experience with those off brands?  I bought a noname at Menards a few years ago and have been very happy with it.  But I am affraid I used up all my luck with that one and am scared to buy another no name without a little research.
