In Reply to: OT? PTO generator posted by Machine249 on February 10, 2010 at 19:07:42:
I have a 15kW continuous, 18kW surge PTO generator made by Winpower. It was purchased after an ice storm left 70% of East Texas completely crippled. The house is all electric. This machine will give me 60 amps of 240 volt single phase power. That's enough to run an air conditioner in the 100 degree heat or the water heater, or the stove...(funny how you have time to manage your breakers when the power is out). Anyway, a 200 amp transfer switch after the utility meter with an extension cord already wired in can have the lights back on in 30 minutes.
Casters were added to the frame of the generator so it can be pushed to a corner of the shop for long term storage. The power source is a (ahem) newer Japanese built 3-cyl diesel putting out around 22 hp. It will run all day on 6 gallons of fuel.
The benefits for the PTO generator on a 3-point frame are that 1) The unit is portable and can be taken anywhere the tractor goes, 2) It never has to be lifted into the back of a pickup or on to a trailer, 3) Its just one less small gas engine to have problems with.
