Kubota Generators
Kubota Generators: Industrial Diesel Power You Can Rely On
Kubota's Lowboy II series brings the same engineering reputation the brand built in tractors and heavy equipment into the generator space, with diesel units designed for continuous, heavy-duty output rather than occasional light use. A Kubota generator in this lineup is built low to the ground for stability and easier transport, which is where the "Lowboy" name comes from, and the range spans the GL7000 at 7,000 watts up through the GL14000 LowboyPro for buyers who need substantially more continuous power.
Choosing Between the GL7000, GL11000, and GL14000
The GL7000 suits job sites and backup applications where 7,000 watts covers the expected load, while the GL11000 and GL11000TM step up to 11,000 watts for larger equipment or broader home backup coverage. The GL11000TM specifically includes output terminals in addition to standard receptacles, which matters for installers wiring the unit directly into a subpanel or transfer switch rather than plugging in individual devices. At the top of the range, the GL14000 LowboyPro delivers the highest output in the lineup, built for buyers running substantial continuous loads on job sites or as a primary power source in off-grid applications.
Making It Mobile and Semi-Automatic
Because these are heavy industrial units, Kubota's wheel kits for the GL7000 and GL11000 make repositioning the generator around a property or job site considerably easier than trying to move it manually. For buyers who want closer to standby-style convenience without a full permanent installation, the Kubota auto start kit and the 200 amp auto power transfer kit add automatic starting and switching capability, so a Kubota generator can kick on during an outage without someone manually starting it, similar in function to a standby system but built around a portable diesel unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "Lowboy" design actually mean, and why does it matter?
Lowboy refers to the generator's low center of gravity and compact frame design, which improves stability during operation and makes the unit less prone to tipping or vibration issues compared to a taller, narrower frame at the same wattage. It also tends to make the unit easier to transport and position on uneven ground, which is a common consideration for job site use where the generator might be moved between locations regularly.
Do I need the GL11000TM with output terminals, or is the standard GL11000 enough?
If you're planning to plug individual devices or equipment directly into the generator's receptacles, the standard GL11000 covers that use case without needing output terminals. The GL11000TM is built for installers wiring the generator into a subpanel, transfer switch, or other fixed electrical setup, since the terminals allow a direct, hardwired connection rather than relying on standard outlets. Most residential or semi-permanent backup installations benefit from the terminal version, while purely portable, plug-in use doesn't require it.
How does the auto start kit work, and does it turn this into a full standby system?
The auto start kit combined with the 200 amp auto power transfer kit lets the generator detect a power outage and start automatically, then switch the connected circuits over without manual intervention, functioning similarly to a standby generator setup. It doesn't include the permanent fuel line connection or enclosure typically associated with a dedicated standby unit, so it's more accurately described as adding automatic operation to a portable diesel generator rather than converting it into a true standby system. For buyers who want automatic starting without the cost of a dedicated standby generator, this is a middle-ground option worth considering.
