Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The McCulloch 11 HP generator with wheel kit and front panel has a 5-gallon fuel tank for 7 hours of runtime when half-loaded. It's powered by an efficient 11 HP OHV engine with an easy pull recoil starter. This generator shuts off the ignition when dangerously low oil levels occur, and it's enclosed in a compact protective roll cage frame. A conveniently located on/off switch provides easy control of this generator, which provides a maximum of 5,700 watts. 10-inch pneumatic wheels and a collapsible handle provide mobility. You'll also appreciate the large muffler that helps restrict noise from the generator. This generator is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

From the Manufacturer

This is a modern portable generator great for c-Amping, fishing and out in the shop area, constructed with a permanent magnet alternator and an ohc gasoline combustion engine. The engine turns the rotor outside the stator to change the magnetic flux generated into ac electricity through an inverter to DC then transfer to AC output.

4.0 out of 5 stars Runs well, happy so far., August 8, 2005

The McCulloch 5700 has a well built frame and an included wheel kit (from Northern Tool). The engine is a near identical Chinese copy of the Honda 340 GX 11-hp engine and runs smoothly and fairly quiet. It is not as quiet as a true Honda but more so than a Briggs. Fuel economy seems to be good too. It starts with one or two pulls though I usually run it several times a month. Workmanship seems to be good. Instructions are understandable but suffer from poor grammer. It carries only a one year warranty where most others have two. I'm not too worried about the engine as I am told that Honda parts are interchangeable. The generator part I'm not too sure about but so far after about 30 hours of operation with fairly heavy loads, there has been no problem. The price was right but I won't know if I had made the right decision until some years down the road. I still haven't checked the AC frequency or voltage under load but will do so the next I use it. I do wish it had automatic voltage regulation but that is only found on more expensive units. Anyway, at this point I feel I got a good deal and the unit has exceeded my expectations.

This review is from: McCulloch FG6000MK 5700-Watt 13 HP 338CC Portable Generator (Lawn & Patio)

I purchased this generator a couple of weeks ago. It was delivered 1 day early on 8/28/2008 three days before hurricane Gustov passed 60 miles to my west. Our power went down for 53 hours. This generator performed flawlessly for 53 hours of continuous use. I never shut it off. It powered my well,refrigerator,freezer,TV and really everything but my air conditioner.It is quite fuel efficient and moderately quiet. I would definately recommend it to anyone.This is a solid heavy duty unit and I am confident I made the right choice.

I just got mine today. Easy to put the wheels and handles on, in less than 15 minutes, had it up and running, STARTED ON FIRST PULL. The generator is reasonably quiet, compared to some I've heard. Powered hand tools just fine, all the switches and controls are convenient and well placed. A well built machine, manual says it has a brushless generator, which tends to be maintenance free. Tires are airless-NO FLATS. Engine is 11 HP, NOT 13 as it says on Amazons title, the weight is also around 200 pounds, not 147 as stated. THIS ENGINE DOES NOT HAVE A SPARK ARRESTOR. If that is important, installation of one shouldn't be too difficult. If the specifications fill the bill for you, do not hesitate, I like mine. FREE shipping was a big plus++++.
