Not sure if it has been asked yet, but does anyone have the 12K/15KW surge Voltmaster PTO genny and what do you think.
Also can anyone who already has a PTO genny let me know if you constantly have to adjust the throttle on the tractor when loads kick on and off?
Recently bought a used
Dayton 12/15kw PTO generator which is a re-badged
Voltmaster and I'm very happy with it.
I run it with a Kubota L4200 which has a bit more power than your JD, but at 30hp at the PTO you should have plenty as well.
Setting the throttle to obtain 62hz with no load, I never saw it go below 60hz even with a 4ton A/C unit, a 1.5hp well pump and lights drawing power.
If your interested, I have a
thread where I discussed re-wiring the generator from Bonded Neutral to Floating Neutral. (Which I ultimately did)
I also discussed my mounting, inlet and breaker box setup and how I
tested it.
The generator is brushless, has sealed bearings and capacitor voltage regulation.
My understanding is this doesn't control voltage quite as closely as an AVR, but is simple/reliable and all my electronics function fine.
If you
look around you can get the Voltmaster delivered new for under $1,300.
Hope this helps
