100K PTO Generators on Sale
Just a thought how much HP does the PTO on a diesel pickup generate? Should be pretty substantial. The offer them as an option and I was curious.
Who needs 100K anyway unless your powering a small hospital?

Hey all you need is some meters and you're in business. How much is a kilowatt these days 
That is about the only option I don't have, I too am curious how they work. My friend has the PTO but he got it because it was on the truck already. He has no use for it but I will take a look next time I see him.
I think on the Fords it is only available with automatics?

It is about the only thing on the truck you can't find ANY information about. No wonder we didn't know anything about them  .
I do have to take a look at one. I guess they would come in handy for running a small home generator Funny though I see kits for running generators and compressors off pulleys on the motor. I guess the PTOs really aren't that useful?
Anyone ever use one?

Go ahead rub it in wiseguy!
I actually was thinking of this post when the power went out. I was getting hay at the local dairy farmer's place so I unloaded real quick and raced 80-90mph to BJ's and HD to buy the generator I saw on sale last week. No dice they were all closed. My buddy snagged a 9.7KW Wacker generator but it cost $2500at the local ToolShed, ouch!
The best I could do was get a power inverter ( at ShopRite)and hook it up to the old Powerstroke. It was good enough to run a fan, small tv/vcr combo, light, radio and charge cell phones.
We went in the pool to cool off and we have propane stoves so dinner wasn't an issue. My biggest issue is water for the horse but with the power inverter and a small sump pump I can go down to the reservoir (1/4 mile away) and fill 55 gallons drums with water as needed.
Well 6 hours later and the power is back on so all is well again.
I have been eyeing a Generac standby system that runs off propane for several years now. That is why I never bought a portable. The Generac Guardian is 7000 wats, runs on propane, turns itself on and off as a result of voltage drops and comes in a nice case with a base for $2200 with the power panel.
I AM GETTING IT WITHOUT DELAY

I've looked online and have read nothing but good reviews on Generacs. I did read on an RV forum of a past problem with faulty oil safety switches that caused shutdowns. Just a case of a safety switch being too sensitive and causing shutdowns riht after startup. There was a way to bypass it and Generac replaced the safety switches.
The standby systems should alert you too any potential problems as they start themselves and run once a week for 7 minutes or longer if you specify. 2 year 2000 hour warranty as well.
