Generators
• High Ambient Radiators: Keeps cooling efficient under high temperatures.
• Weatherproof Enclosures: Resists rust and moisture in open installations.
• Telematics and Remote Monitoring: Provides fuel level and maintenance alerts from your phone— critical for multi-site or seasonal operations.
• Sound Attenuation: Delivers cleaner and quieter operation with Tier 4 Final engines— good news for anyone living close to the barn.
The best farm generators are built for uptime, not aesthetics. They’ re over-engineered where it counts: cooling, motorstarting torque and reliability in dust and heat.
The Future of Farm Power
Technology is catching up with rural resilience. Modern generators pair with smart load management to balance circuits and stretch runtime. Telematics flag performance issues before
breakdowns. Solar hybrids reduce diesel use by up to 30 % to 50 %, and Tier 4 engines slash emissions to meet Environmental Protection Agency standards without sacrificing torque.
The next generation of farm power isn’ t just about muscle— it’ s about intelligence. It’ s quiet, connected and built to keep pace with farms that can’ t afford downtime.
Steady Through the Storm
When the storm rolls in and the sky turns electric, a good generator hums quietly in the background, steady and unbothered. It doesn’ t ask for praise— it just does its job. That’ s the kind of reliability every farmer needs: a system that protects the work, the animals and the livelihood built on both.
So, choose power that matches your land’ s rhythm. Size it to your heaviest task, fuel it with what’ s practical and never skimp on safety. Because when the grid fails— and someday it will— the right generator doesn’ t just keep your lights on. It keeps your farm alive.
Safety First: The Non-Negotiables
Generators bring as much risk as they do relief if they’ re not handled correctly. Keep these fundamentals in mind:
• Ventilation: Never run a generator inside a barn or garage. Carbon monoxide kills quietly and fast.
• Grounding: Always connect to a proper earth rod to prevent shock and fire risk.
• Moisture Protection: Install on raised pads and use waterproof covers.
• Fuel Handling: Store diesel or propane safely and rotate your supply every 6 to 12 months.
• Routine Maintenance: Change oil, filters and coolant at least once a year— or every 250 hours of operation.
• Transfer Switch Use: Always rely on an ATS to isolate your generator from the utility grid. It protects both your equipment and the line workers down the road.
Most generator-related fires and failures trace back to skipped maintenance or improper ventilation— not faulty machines. Treat yours like any other piece of critical equipment: service it before you need it.
