I bought a 15K PTO generator. It was used and it had 1 hour run time on it.

Yes, it is either 120 or 240 volts. It would be easy to built a box that takes one led off for a 120 volt outlets.
I think to 50 amp and the 30 amp are live at the same time. I could just have that box off the 30 amp that splits it out for 120 volt outlets.
I need to experiment with it.

I'd probably take the 50 amp plug, into a "breaker box" and then put breakers in THAT box for what ever I wanted, and pull from there...

On mine, I plug my welder into the 50 amp plug, and the lights ect.. into the 120v side. (all with heavy extension cords) Seems to work just fine...

I just looked up my welder. It is a Hobart 210MVP and it only draws 24 amps @240 Volts. Running 50 amp to a box will work fine. That box will break out 240 plug and 120 this should work fine.
I was a Electronics technician ET in the Navy so I am petty comfortable doing this.

Run time should be approx 12 hours on a tank at 540 if I remember correctly (normal load).

 

[Sawyer Rob]

I never saw what tractor it's going on, or how big the fuel tank is, OR what continuous load will be on it. SO, how do you figure out how long it will run on a tank of fuel without knowing that?

I guess I missed something...

My tractor is MF GC 1710 it has a 6.6 Gallon fuel tank.
Our house stays 3Kw-4Kw if we charge our car it could be 3K higher.
Engine: 22.5 hp
PTO: 18.7 hp

You certainly have plenty of generator. With your tractor PTO HP you should be able to get 9-10kw out of the generator.

 

[Gofast]

It was bigger than I was looking for. I was looking for a 7.8 Kw to 10 Kw generator. I could not find one of these in the price range that I wanted to pay.
I am not going to run it harder than that so it should last longer.

My other tractor is 36 Hp 29 PTO but I will be selling that one over the summer.

I would check with it running to make sure the 120 outlet isn't live in the 240 switch mode before I built a box. Seems like the Chinese generator I bought for my daughter had a 120/240 switch but both were hot with it in 240.

I hope to get to test it out over the weekend. I will test this out if both have power and up date here.

I ordered 4 more 5 gallon diesel cans. I have a 6 gallon and a 5 gallon right Now.
That will give me 31 gallons of diesel fuel.
