John Doherty 126 Report post Posted August 19, 2004 Looking at generators 5k to 6k, anyone have one, and what should I know in my search? Best Regards, JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 533 Report post Posted August 19, 2004 What do you plan to run with it would be the first question? I have a 4000 watt and 10,000 watt generator, started with the small one but once I added a reclaim system it did not have the power needed to run 3000 watts of lights, vacuum, two sump pumps and Shur-Flo, oh and when required orange strobe light. The 4000 watt now sits in garage but I used to carry it as a spare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted August 20, 2004 I have an Onan Pro 6000 and have to say I made a really good choice. It has pressure lubrication, a large fuel tank that can run 10 hours under full load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aplus 525 Report post Posted August 20, 2004 For extended running periods, pressure lubrication is preferred. If only used for short periods of time, then it's not really necessary. This feature easily adds a few hundred to the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
