Hello
I stumbled onto this site while researching the pros/cons of pto generators. I am looking at buying a 13kW NorthStar pto generator from NorthernTool for $1199.00. My 45hp tractor should be capable of handling the full 12kW continuous load that this generator can supposively supply. I have a few questions for anyone who has one or has had experience using a pto generator.
1. How durable is the NorthStar and how many hours can I expect to get out of this generator before it goes belly up?
2. Have any of you ever used your generator as a power source for a welding machine and how does it work under the load of the welding machine?
3. Are there other brands of pto generators that are better than the NorthStar that are in the same price range as the NorthStar?
Any input on the NorthStar pto generator or comparable brands will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
