Power stability with PTO generators

Sounds like the unit you have has an auto idle?

The pto setup once you set it at rpm for freq you need it will be fine unless you hit it with a big draw and it may bring tractor to knees. You'll hear the tractor knuckle into load and work as things start but will be a good sound. RPM may drop a tad but will come right back. Not so with a big draw. Did you ever watch a big tractor run a blower? Same sounds as wads of siliage hit.

One of our friends years ago pulled their 150+hp out with gen hooked up and pulled the big power pole disconnect. Fired off generator tractor bogged way down and would not run the set. When they shut it down to check problem the disconnect lever had worked but it had not pulled the shunts out of the sockets. Good thing no power people on that line then...They got ladder and a stick to force shunts out.

If you have HP enough for your load you will be fine. But you won't run the block .

Power stability with PTO generators

Art thanks for correcting. I did word the HP part poorly. You can have a larger generator than needed with only enough HP for your application...

Tom you are correct about the importance of the grid disconnect. The power people installed the Big lever disconnect to disconnect the complete service from the grid. But for what ever reason the shunts did not pull out. I'd have to go back and ask what happened and it was years ago...
