Generac XD5000E portable diesel generator

Generac XD5000e portable diesel generator - perfect for job sites, small homes, homes with many natural/propane gas appliances and/or limited space where it isn't possible to install a whole home generator. As a former boat captain this generator made perfect sense - reliability, diesel fuel instead of gasoline, and plenty of torque. My battery monitor is from LNEX model BVM02, trickle charger is Schumacher model SC1278, and storage cover is from TheCoverStore.com item# 753.BKR. Finally, I replaced the stock hard tires with soft HAUL-MASTER 10 in. Pneumatic Tires (4.10/3.50-4) - this allows taking the generator over gassy areas, dirt and gravel. ‪@generac‬

    I have a generac gp6500e but I’m considering getting this to replace it. The engine is larger than the 6500, I’m surprised its only rated at 5000 watts

    I got a similar generator back in 2012. It's an Aurora 6500 watt portable. I originally got mine because I had a diesel truck at the time(I no longer own it). I have used it over the years, but not really that much. It has been reliable, and I have never had a problem with it. I saw that someone had noticed that it was loud....lol. Mine is really loud and definitely not camper friendly!!! I am lucky that I live on the end of a dead end road and have no neighbors on one side and none in front of me. I was just wondering what made you decide on a diesel generator. Thanks for the video......

    Does this diesel generator run on idle to warm up or only run on full blast?

    I have to manually run mine on low idle before going to work a zip tie is a cheap solution until I figure out something else.

    The engines are horribly expensive. Some engine dealers have quoted me 5000 just for the engine.

    The aircooled diesel yanmar, kohler, hatz are the only engines that meet the tier 4 epa regulations for small diesel engines.
