I just purchased a Winco 10kW PTO Generator for my Kubota B3200. I'm following the Stationary PTO instructions on pg. 26 of Operator's Manual. I can't stop the engine shut-down when PTO is engaged and I "dismount the seat and tilt it up quickly". I can see that there is a seat switch that is depressed (closed) when there is weight on the seat but is there another switch operating when the PTO lever is engaged? Are there any "tricks" to solve problem? My Kubota has only 120 hrs. but I suppose it could have a bad seat switch. Kubota is known for defective switches. Thanks for any information - I'm looking for a 200 lb. sand bag!:laughing:

That seat switch probably has to be bypassed. I'm not a Kubota guy but that is a typical problem.

I have a 25 kW Winco. You will enjoy it.
Try pulling the tip of the seat switch up past the detent. It should stay there and you will be operational. If you are really good, you can jump up, seat forward, grab switch upwards and dismount. Don't worry about starting the generator at low speed. Juice won't flow at low rpm.

Good point. I get mine up to speed and the voltage on the meter in the green, then I close the breaker. I did use a meter to measure the voltage and frequency of mine so that I knew where I needed to be on the meter before I powered things up. Probably not a bad idea to do.

And no more tractor if you need it for some other task at the same time.

Yes I have more than one tractor, but I've yet to have a need to use a tractor when I'm running my PTO generator...
Even if I did, I'd just plan for the generator shutdown, for the time I needed the tractor, no big deal at all.
