In Reply to: OT? PTO generator posted by Machine249 on February 10, 2010 at 19:07:42:
I have a 12kw PTO generator and love it. Powers everything in the house that we need except for the secondary heating strips. We went this route to make better use of the equipment we had already (e.g. tractors) and therefore one less item to maintain (e.g. another engine, etc). We also did so because of the portability.
If you do decide to go the route of a PTO generator, it takes 2HP for each KW. So like in my case, I have my 24HP tractor running the generator and when power is being consumed well (e.g. water heater, stove, etc) she does pull a load but fortunately handles it well.
I like the PTO generator because of its size and portability. Ours is mounted on a trailer so I can use it behind any of my 3 tractors, in the field, where ever I need power that isn"t readily available. And, it's one less machine to keep up enginge wise (e.g. oil changes, etc). Plus will having multiple tractors, if one won't start for whatever reason, we have other options.
We"re considering upgrading to a larger unit so we can power the whole ranch (e.g. shop, house, etc). Probably will go with a 40kW which means she"ll either be used behind the 4010 or the 1466 depending upon which is available.

As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
