I bought 2 diesel power plants last month.
1 is a 25 KVA 4 cyl air cooled deutz diesel in a shed on skids with only 3400 hrs on it as standby power for the farm,.. runs like a top.
The other one a 15 KVA 3 cyl Lister diesel in need of some TLC (stuck engine and gen makes no power)
I been rebuilding the engine on that one the last 2 weeks. I got it running and fixed the generator,..gave it a new coat of paint for good measure.:smile:

Keep one for backup power.
Sell the other.
I paid 4 grand for the both of them,i paid $500 and spend +/- $500 in parts on the green one.
If i get $4500 for either one of the 2 than i got one i keep for free ;)

They sure look big. I would say someone would need the equipment to move them. I see you can buy a unit to run a house from 2 to 5 thousand that runs off natural or propane gas. The units that you have look a lot bigger so if you can find a market you should get your money back.

The bigger one has enough power to run a dairy or hog or chicken farm as backup power unit.
The green with the lister diesel would be ideal for a smaller farm or someone that lives off the grid or out in the boonies.
These things can run nonstop for a long time.
These cheaper gas gensets for a residence are for backup power only,.. if one gets a 1000 hrs outa them he doing good.
