Confused on PTO generator size

[aczlan]

Can you post a picture of the outlet box? That seems odd.

They took it back.
63 Amp 4 Pin Plug & Surface Mounted Socket 38V - 415V Waterproof IP67 3 Phase | eBay

Those were the type of connectors they were going to use. They said that because it is over 50 Amps you can't use the twist lock style.

I would like to see a 60 am wall mount socket with the cord coming out the back so that it goes straight into the wall and down to the panel

This was a similar box
FITS 6/63A RECEPTACLES, FITS 16/2/3/32/6/63A INLETS, 1 1/4" HUB, W/GROUNDING | ElecDirect

Why not a 50 amp twist lock? This is a 10kw generator, right? Puts out 41ish amps at 240VAC?
If it is a 60 amp, they make a version of that plug that mounts on to a regular 2 gang outdoor box.

No its a 16 KW generator. I just cant make that much with this tractor.

I don't have any attachments yet.

This is the type of cord they were planning on using


Now I need a box for it. 60amp

The problem is, that the cord from the breaker box is going to come out and run down the outside wall.
I'm looking to run it out form the back of the breaker box and directly into the back of a receptacle box.

Hope I have made it clear. I'm not great at explaining electrical stuff.

They make receptacles for those connectors which go on a normal outdoor box and let you run power in whichever direction is convenient.
