Wrenches,<br>
We sold and installed a few Kohler 8.5 and 11 RMY generators in the
first half of the last decade. We found over the years that followed
that they held up quite well, with very few problems if cared for. <br>
<br>
We have a customer whose off grid system we cared for for about a
decade before she sold her property and moved on. The buyer, with
whom I have never spoken, did little research on the property or the
PV system before purchase, and is now dissatisfied with the system
and has sued the seller. I have been asked to provide some history
and guidance to the seller. The system includes an 8.5 RMY Kohler
that, when the property was sold, had about 2,000 hours on it and
was working well, I recall being told. The buyer has claimed, among
other things, that it was "old and near the end of its service
life."<br>
<br>
What kind of life have others seen from these units, and how have
they held up in your experience?<br>
Thank you,<br>
Allan<br>
