XD5000e 5,000 Watt Portable Diesel Generator, 5,500 W Surge, Recoil Start, 120/250V AC, Model 6864

The Generac XD5000e (Generac 6864) is a heavy-duty, commercial diesel generator designed for high-endurance applications like job sites and agricultural work. Built around a Yanmar LW Series 435cc diesel engine, this 5000 watt Generac generator unit is engineered for longer life cycles and lower maintenance compared to standard gasoline alternatives.

The Generac XD5000e is a conventional diesel generator that provides 5,000 running watts and 5,500 starting watts. Its standout feature is a high-capacity 12-gallon fuel tank, which allows it to run for up to 32.4 hours at half load—a duration significantly longer than most portable gas models. The engine utilizes an electric starter with recoil backup, and the unit is housed in a fully welded 1-1/4" steel cradle with an integrated lifting eye for crane or hoist transport.
