  3 Pt PTO generators

i recently purchased a pto gen 25kw,the cost between the 12kw and 25kw is only about $200 i purchased a generac,has both a frequency and volt meter that you can see from theoperator seat. these units are used heavily in farm countryfor backup power, and have been proven to be very reliable.i also dont want to service a motor that would rarely get used,and most likely would not work when you need it the most.diesel tractors are about as bullet proof as you can get,buy a coleman if you want, these are light duty units, meant for non critical use, there is a world of differencebetween the two units, as far as service life, construction,servicability

my pto generator is a generac 25kw unit, has both frequency and voltage meters facing the operator so you can adjust the outputfrom the seat of the tractor, i understand as long as you stay+/- 2% on the output you should be ok.

  3 Pt PTO generators

i have had a pto generator for about 6 months and would share these observations with you .i have a generac 25kw unit with built in voltage and frequency meter. the frequency meter is in my opinion very important if you are going to run electronic equipment . since the motor is not voltage or frequency controlled you need to be able to evaluate this, motor pitch does not reliabley help you with the frequency. in other words you can not tell if the frequency changes by listening to the motor sounds. poor frequency is extremely hard on electronic equipment.i have found in my particular case that i can set the frequency on 60.7 HZ with no load and will have plenty of power to start my 75 ft well pump (1hp) without dropping below 59HZ on startup. this is the largest motor i have. this is addition to the usual house hold load. i have installed a transfer panel from gentran to safely handle the power output. this is very important to anyone planning on using a generator.the other thing you might consider is that if your tractor is powering your generator you cant use it for other things like clearing snow, etc.all in all i am happy with the generac, very well built unit. weighs about 535 lbs without the trailor. hope this helpsal
