Hey!
I have the opportunity to get this generator for $10k. That is a lot of money to us, so not a decision I take lightly. It’s not something we were planning to buy, but if it’s a deal that I shouldn’t pass up, I might be able to make it happen. Can anyone give advice whether it’s a good deal? @1911gobang ?
MTU 60kw
5.7L Chevy engine that runs on natural gas
240V single phase
200A Asco transfer switch
Some kind of water heater (is this a block heater for the engine?)
This was for a VERIZON cell tower that used to be in the steeple of our church. When they pulled the tower out, VERIZON gave the church a deal on the generator, and the church is now selling it to make some money.
Would this be suitable (although overkill) for me to use as a home whole house generator?
Would I be better off passing it up and getting a different model/style later if I found a deal?
Any questions I should ask about it?
Is it a good deal at $10k?
If not, what should I offer for it?
Thanks!
Richard
