Kubota GL7000-TM Portable Diesel Generator Overview
The Kubota GL7000-TM is a portable diesel generator from Kubota’s GL Series, built around a durable, convenient design and a long list of usability features. It provides 6.5 kW of continuous single-phase power at 120 volts and 240 volts, 60 hertz, and it is compact enough for spaces where room is limited.
An on-board 7.4-gallon fuel cell runs the generator for 16.5 hours at 50 percent load or 10 hours at 100 percent load. The painted steel enclosure protects against the elements and attenuates sound to a 66.0 dB(A) rating at 23 feet (7 meters). Overall dimensions are 42 x 24.3 x 27.5 inches (length, width, height).
Kubota built several noise-reduction measures into the design. A large-capacity radiator and slower-speed fan reduce fan noise, a large built-in muffler lowers exhaust noise, a longer air-cleaner hose dampens air-intake noise, and the inlet vent is placed and shaped to let minimal sound escape from the enclosure opening. Starting is by electric key start, and a battery is included for reliable manual engine starting.
