  3 Pt PTO generators

Interestingly enough...the 13kw unit w/PTO gear box is $1499. Without the gearbox=$699....Hummm, sounds like alot of money for a gear box. Bringing me to the next question. the PTO unit only needs a shaft and mount. The other unit needs a mount, and some sorta belt/pulley ratio (540rpms to 3500rpms) drive system...what to do, what to do..

  3 Pt PTO generators

We are looking for a Generator strictly for back-up purposes. Working for an electronics company, I'm far from worried about Y2K. I think the most that will happen is a "few" angry people, because of an error or software program oversight on a bill or something. But otherwise no-one will be going hungry or anything like that. At any rate, our necessities consist of a submersible well pump, oil furnace W/3 zone pumps. Otherwise, we could make due. I at least want to use bathroom facilities. Plus, 0-20 degrees outside, +wind will turn our house into an ice box pretty quick. Not to mention busted water pipes.
As rare as the event might or hopefully will be.. I always like to be prepared.
Furthermore...is it me, or do power outages seem more frequent in the past few years due to bad weather??

Brian,
Your idea is definitely do-able. How well it works will depend upon your level of design and planning. Naturally the first thing you'll need is some sort of 3pt mounted platform. Next, ya gotta get that 540 RPM PTO up to the gen's rated speed. Chances are, you'll need approximately a 1 to 4 gearbox. NOT a 4 to 1! YA gotta increase speed not reduce. Your best bet may be to use a pully drive system rather than a gear. If for no other reason than cost. Otherwise, you'll spend just as much if not more than buying new.

Only MO.
