Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Home stand by generators.

After 2 extended outages in recent times, it was time to get enough generator to run the entire ranch.

Needed around 30kw. Opted for a PTO generator, because I already have tractors to run it.

Welded a 3 point hitch setup. Frame, legs set at the exact height to keep the driveline level, cover, and wooden floor mount for the generator itself.

I just hook it up to the tractor, and back to the transfer switch and plug it in.

The 75hp tractor running it has an economy mode PTO. It'll run that generator for quite awhile on a tank of diesel. Only turning 1500rpm's when generator is at optimal hertz.
