hi,
i'm thinking of a 25kw PTO generator for my 105hp JD. it wouldn't be used often but there more for long term issues down the road if need be. i don't want to tap into our propane tank because i want that fuel available elsewhere and i'ld probably burn 2 gallons of propane/hr. just how many gallons of diesel per hour would my tractor burn at 540rpm? i've got the 4 cylinder diesel engine.
thanks,
First, :welcome: to TBN. You have to consider the rpm you have to run your tractor to get 540 rpm on the PTO. My Kioti
produces 540 PTO at 2600 rpm. That can use up the diesel. If you can work that out, then you will have an approximate
idea of fuel useage...
Good luck
Tom
