GolfVenture Posted May 5, 2015 #1 Posted May 5, 2015 Anyone here have any knowledge or experience of a Kubota Diesel Gen KJ-T270F-60 27kw. Like to know if it is a good one for home backup use? Pros and Cons?
Flyinfool Posted May 5, 2015 #2 Posted May 5, 2015 While I do not know about the Kabota specifically, some things to consider. Pros Back up gennys are great to have if/when the power goes out. Cons Once you spend the bucks for one the power will never go out again. In the last ten years since I got a genny the power has not gone out for more than a few seconds at a time. Before the genny the power went out for at least an hour a month. You will have to store a sufficient quantity of fuel that has a short storage life. (Do you have natural gas to the house?)

It is a diesel gen set. You can store diesel fuel forever. 27KW will power your house and your neighbors !
