Where to Buy Kubota Lowboy II GL7000 7kW Generator

The Kubota Lowboy II GL7000 7kW Generator is a professional‑grade diesel unit engineered to provide dependable standby and prime power for homes, farms, construction sites, and mobile applications where space is limited. Its Lowboy II design keeps height to a minimum, making it easier to install in tight spaces and equipment bays while still delivering full 7 kW standby and 6.5 kW prime power at 120/240V single‑phase.

Powered by the Kubota Z482 2‑cylinder, water‑cooled diesel engine, the GL7000 offers excellent fuel economy, long service life, and reliable starting with a 12 V electric key start system. A 7.4‑gallon (28 L) onboard fuel tank allows up to about 16–20 hours of continuous operation at partial load, reducing refuelling frequency for longer jobs or overnight backup. The sound‑attenuated enclosure and advanced muffler system keep noise down to about 66 dB(A) at 23 ft (7 m), making it suitable for residential and urban worksites.

Single‑side service access simplifies maintenance, while multiple receptacles and terminal lugs on some variants provide flexible power distribution options for tools, equipment, or transfer‑switch connection. Built‑in protections such as low‑oil and high‑water‑temperature shutdown, along with an emergency stop system, help protect the engine and generator under abnormal conditions.
