Explaining the differences between the Kubota Generator Series

Kubota Generators Australia offers five ranges of generators. There is the KD, GL, J, KJ, and SQ series of Kubota generators. It is worth noting that the only type of generator on offer is a Kubota diesel generator, as they donu2019t supply petrol ones. Each of the series offers increasingly more powerful options, except the SQ and the KJ range, which both offer the maximum power rating which is a Kubota 30kVA generator. In this article, we go through the differences between the offerings and which ones are ideal for you.<br>

  1. Explaining the differences between the Kubota Generator Series Kubota Generators Australia offers five ranges of generators. There is the KD, GL, J, KJ, and SQ series of Kubota generators. It is worth noting that the only type of generator on offer is a Kubota diesel generator, as they don’t supply petrol ones. Each of the series offers increasingly more powerful options, except the SQ and the KJ range, which both offer the maximum power rating which is a Kubota 30kVA generator. In this article, we go through the differences between the offerings and which ones are ideal for you. KD Series The KD Series includes the KD5500 Kubota diesel generator, which is a 5.5kVA, portable, open-frame generator with a foldable handle and wheels. This model has a 5.5L fuel capacity and can run for 4 hours on a 75% power load.

  2. But what does that mean? This generator seems ideal for use on worksites for supplying energy to power tools. However, the lower fuel capacity (which does not have the benefit of an LRT (Long Range Tank) means any labourer who intends to use this generator at high power all day long definitely needs to keep a jerry can of diesel handy to top it up as the day progresses. This model suits this use case, because the open frame allows for easy access for on-site maintenance in the case of something breaking. Also, in this scenario, noise is less of an issue since earmuffs or other ear protection are likely a requirement for using the power tools this generator would be powering. As a result, the noise dampening from a closed-frame generator is not as necessary as other cases, such as a household power supply backup generator. Also, being portable allows this generator to be moved to wherever it’s needed on the job site and makes it possible to transport it there in the first place. A fixed generator would never be a worthy consideration in that case. GL Series The GL Series includes the GL6000 (6kVA) and the GL9000 (8kVA) generators. These generators are both closed-frame, fixed and have a fuel tank capacity of 28L. These generators make sense for businesses or even homes which need a full work day of generation possible by their generator, with the 6kVA offering managing 12 hours operation at full power load, and the 8kVA variant making it to 8.5 hours. J Series This series is similar to the GL series but offers three choices – 8kVA, 10kVA, and 13.3kVA options. These fixed generators are more of an open-framed design, blurring the line slightly between the distinctions. They appear to be best suited for agricultural or other farm usage, being more compact than the other series, at least horizontally. The J108 has a capacity of 38L and runs for 11.8 hours at full load. J112 has 79L and reaches 17 hours at full load. The J310 has just 37L but makes it to 12.1 hours. The J310 (10kVA) offers three-phase power supply. Three-phase power essentially just produces power more constantly and can reach a higher voltage than single-phase. Some machines require a three-phase power supply to operate properly, rather than be disrupted by the ‘flickering’ of single-phase AC power as the current alternates. KJ Series The KJ Series is “heavy duty” and “suited to industrial applications”. This is because they range from just 12.5kVA all the way up to the 30kVA generator. These machines are beasts with the lightest (KJ-T130, 12.6kVA) weighing in at 470 kg and the heaviest (KJ-T300, 30kVA) weighing

  3. in at 880kg. These machines require some planning as to where they will be placed because, without a forklift of your own, they aren’t budging from where they’re placed down. Summary This brief overview of the various series of generators Kubota has to offer was intended to give you an insight into what options there are available to you. Clearly, there are numerous options, even within each series, and making the final decisions comes down to your own setup and what you require. Hopefully, this has been a good jumping off point for you to start narrowing down your search and to understand what other options there are out there.
