Expert Review
The Kubota GL7000, with its 479cc Kubota Z482 liquid-cooled diesel engine, is by far one of the best professional generators available. This model is primarily used on job sites, but can also be used for home applications with a 2-wire automatic transfer switch. The large 7.4-gallon fuel tank will provide up to 10 hours of run time. A large capacity oil pan provides oil change intervals up to 200 hours, and, with a dual-element air filter design, it can handle those dusty conditions found on construction sites. If you are looking for a top quality generator that has multiple uses, look no further than our "best" recommended unit.
