MEP Generators

3kw or 20kw Generators available. Call if interested in buying these generators

MEP-831A Diesel 3kw, 120v 1 Phase Generator set (below) $2200

Deer Hunting shack power supply, and power up an entire farm operation or construction site as well. New home construction builders or re-modelers would love this.

Army paid $9922 for the 3kw generator - huge savings to us!

"Tactical" means it runs quiet. You can also switch it to run regardless under ANY circumstances until it gets squashed by a tank, or runs out of diesel fuel.

If you're a snowbird, take it with you as it's ready to go if needed for hurricane disaster relief. Or preparation of another potential disaster area. I test ran it multiple times, purrs like a kitten. Perfect back up power for farm, business, house, cabin, logging operations, or run any welder you want in the middle of nowhere. It's ready to go to work.

Insulated Enclosure. Plug and play, ready to work, or stand by as a backup. Why buy a Honda EU2000i 2000W when you can get the daddy of all generators. This is a Military tactical generator that runs very quiet.

Why get the cheapo civilian version of this exact generator when you can get military grade reliability and durability here.

Here's what it needs yet: a spray down to wash the dust off. That's it.

Backup Power for your house, business, or farm. Year 2010 tactical MEP-831A diesel generator set has just over 5 hours on it. Purrs like a kitten. Army Reserve paid about $10k for this generator to just have it on hand and never used it - see pic included of a price tag I found for what uncle Sam paid. Huge savings for us as 2nd owner.

Use it for your mobile kitchen, concession stand, shop or repair welder in the woods for your heavy construction or farm equipment... Two people can move this around with fold down handles. One could too, but too awkward. So easiest with two people. Put in the back of your truck or HMMWV slant back and take it anywhere. Buyer arranges shipping. I can load it, or drop it off at Fastenal.

Here's the data sheet I found. I don't know any more technical data than this. What I do know is that it's an easy starting, great running next to no hour unit ready to go:
