Oil & Fuel How many gallons per hour @540 pto rpm?

[Robin Veerman]

I have a CK30HST and I’m considering a pto generator, maybe 12k? Does anyone have a fuel/hour estimate or actual number? If not the same tractor even similar experiences would be appreciated. Dutchy

I have a CK2510 and my average is 2.2 hrs per gallon.

All depends on load. A 12k generator should require about 16hp. But that's if you are using all 12k.

So it's hard to figure. I'd guess you aren't gonna be using it at capacity....but ....2 or so hours per gallon (or 1/2 gal per hour) sounds about right
