SE IL Mt.Erie, IL | We have four running on pivots as I type. They are all in the 1000-2000 hour range so I can't tell you about long term but I think they have more than paid for themselves in fuel savings versus the old Detroit and deere engines they replaced. We love not dealing with a radiator and water pump. Just keep a new fan belt on hand. We have had a couple turbos go bad and leak oil and one has issues with the governors in the bash injection pump but as far as the air cooled and other main engine parts no issues. The generator company we bought from sold the first one with too small of an engine. I would guess it was running 110-120% power for the first couple years. Turbo went out from being cherry red the whole time but we have put a 8.3 cummins on it now and that deutz has a lighter load on another pivot
