I have a pto gen set, and for me it's the best way to generate power i've found. For light loads i use my compact tractor to power it. For bigger loads i hook it to a bigger tractor!!! After reading all the answers, i'd like to add, that you are NOT supose to pull more than 80% of your max rated pto power out of your pto for any length of time!!! With loss', you WILL need 40 pto hp to run a 20 KW get set at max output!! There's no getting around it, you will have loss', and you will need to pull less than 100% out of your pto for cont... duty!! One more thing, make sure the power shaft is as straight as possible, because the more the bend to the gen set there is, the more the drive line loss' will be!! Robert
