PTO Generator

[lincmercguy]

I just got this very setup. The 3 point frame comes with four rubber feet but is pre-drilled so you can replace the rubber feet with caster wheels which is very nice to roll it around the garage floor.

The bracket for the lower 3 pt pins is pretty weak and will bend as I found out.

Yeah, the bracket they recommend looks pretty flimsy and their heavy duty one is discontinued. I think I'd probably just grab a three point carry-all, put some PT 2x boards on it and bolt the generator to that. I could bolt on some casters for the shop floor too.

a distraction from this thread, but......

I have a very nice WIN POWER 3 phase AC generator , around 30 amps 240V (plus a 24volt supply) that would be a sweet setup pto driven. ex military for sure.

But to balance the legs in a domestic situation just seems like a lot of work.

I've considered putting a electric resistance space heater on the unused leg. But... Oh well, another time, if the need arises.

I went through Hurricane Harvey and decided it was time to backup with a PTO generator.

The one I got will run the whole ranch... both houses with ac/heat going, and everything in them, including my water well.

It operates with my 75hp tractor. I put it on a 3 point hitch setup, and set it on the ground to have the drive line level when running.

Finished PTO generator with rain cover.

Nice. Which model is that?

I'd have to go look, but off the top of my head, it's a 27kw generator.

May be this one, I'm pretty sure.

They have increased in price pretty much since I got mine a couple years ago. (I was on a waiting list for a year to get it..)

I can easily run my whole house with my Winco 15kw pto gen set, it works perfectly.

BTW, ALL tractors have a governor...

OP, if you're in Colorado we can't be too far apart, and I have a 10K Winco that I have never used, or finished welding up the 3-point mount for.

I bought that one because I liked that it's geared to run at a bit less than 540 rpm, but ended up getting a standby generator so it's for sale. Please PM me if interested.

I need to update my profile, I moved back to Nebraska. I think I want to go with the 15k.

For those with 60a or higher generators, what did you use for a generator inlet? My transfer switch has a CS6364, which is 50A. I don't see an equivalent for 60A or an inlet-style box/plug for a 14-60.

My 25 Kw uses Anderson type connectors, it uses two 2 poles bolted together to make a 4 pole connector;
The 45 and 60 Kw at the farm use the same type of connector. They are two 2 pole connectors with a handle bolted together and hard wired in. I have also seen power cables made up from those connectors and mating units.
