  PTO Generator

1) A good rule of thumb is that 1KW of power generated requires 2 PTO hp.2) So long as you trip the main (incoming breaker) at your main box, you'll be fine, "backfeeding is a cheap and simple way to hook up.3) I am familiar with 50 amp 220V welder outlets. These are good for only 11KW of load (50A x 220V = 11,000 watts/11kw). Should you have a 100 amp 220V welder outlet, beware that you are good to go with a 22KW generator maximum, with the caveat that that particular circuit is protected by a 100 amp breaker.

  PTO Generator

Jim; regarding your question on wire sizing... #2 aluminum conductor will yield a ~2% voltage drop (at 100 amps&240V) for a 90' run. So for your 125' run expect at least a 3% Voltage drop + whatever you may lose through the welder plug that you are using. According to my "35th Edition of Wiring Simplified" the ampacity of #2 aluminum is 70 amps max for Type T or TW line, and 85 amps for types RH, RHW or THW line. These ampacities are for conductors in conduit or buried directly in earth. To sum up: a 24KW generator will really tax the capacity of your #2 aluminum wire. Hope this helps
