Well Soundguy you missed a key point:) I don't want to have to remove the backhoe to run off the back PTO:cool: Hence the need to slide something under the tractor and run off the mid-PTO, haven't seen a commercial unit to do that. But you are correct in the cost will be close to Northern's rear PTO drive unit for materials...the fabbing labor I consider fun ;)

Dieznutz- agreed there will be some power loss stepping the speed up 2X...but then consider what must be lost on the rear PTO units that step it up a little more than 6X :eek:

Volfantz- both switches on my BX24 are plunger switches...holding them both down by hand allows the mid-PTO to be engaged.

I also am intrigued by the possibility of a mid PTO driven generator. Has anyone checked this company out?

They claim that their generator voltage and frequency output is stable over a WIDE range of drive speeds. This sounds ideal for a tractor driven setup where it would be difficult to precisely control the drive speed.

This is a close setup of what you're looking for on a BX24. All we need to do is use something close to what adlertom has found (& make it waterproof) instead of the hydraulic pump.

Nevermind....I just learned that the MSRP for this unit is $8,665
