Past experience tells me how fast to run the pto on my 25 KW generator. Which is slightly slower than pto speed on my 4440 or 4320. I fine tune using old clock with sweep second hand and synchronize to my watch with a sweep second hand. When I milked I would run it a touch faster so when the vacuum pump and bulk tank were running the speed would bee just right. The lights would flicker a touch until the bulk tank kicked on. Even with synchronization I could milk faster (electric pulsation) with the generator than line current. I run TV, VCR, computers, ect with no problem. If my diesels would not start because of cold I could always hook up the A or G until the diesels warm up, but I never had to. My first generator I purchased in 1973 when my cows had not been milked in 24 hours and the milk man returned a second time that day and said I had better do something. I had talked to a generator salesman a few months before, so I called him. He said buy it or he would sell to the next person that called. It had no trailer so we mounted on some long 2" x 6"s and he made some wires to plug into the meter base. I later got the double throw switch installed on the meter pole. The power was out 7 days that time so the milkman gave me good advise! The next longest time was 3 days. When I was milking I would get it hooked up 15 minutes after the power went out. Now without the cows I can wait a little longer, but if hot outside the cattle encourage me to hook it up so they can drink.

In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders.
