inside the box is a 300kW Cummins KTA19 generator with only 1600 original hours, a 250kW loadbank and lots of switchgear. My plan is to remove the loadbank and mount it on its own trailer to rent out and use myself and then to market the trailer with its genset as I have zero use for its kind of output. I am hoping that with it being already in its trailer and its low hours even though it is a purely mechanical engine with no emissions controls.
anyway, wondering about the genset…I have no experience with these KTA diesels but this one runs fine. any thoughts out there on them?
of course, if anyone might know someone looking for something like this then please pass their contact info on to me and I will be sure to take care of you on the post sale end.
I have owned several Cummins and sailed with a few more. I like them. The parts are readily available and reasonably priced. They are fairly easy to work on.
agreed…I have had L, M and N series Cummins in trucks I have owned and all have been workhorses for me but this is my first K series. It does appear to be a larger version of all the others but I have also never had one as a generator prime mover. I know that the most recent versions of this engine are all the way up to 600hp but mine is more like 450.
btw, when Cummins puts a Q in their model numbers for an engine, what does that mean?
Take a pic of the engine dataplate and post it. Take some good pics of the left side of the engine around the injection pump. It looks like there are some mods or additions to the governor.
now I see it but where do you get the juice to light up your “major award”? methinks you might be in need of one of these? I make you special deal afendi
