3-Point Hitch PTO Generator arrived today

I very seldom adjust my throttle once I'm set, I'm running a 25Kw and it just powers along as the load varys I may see a 1 Hz change and a couple of volts but nothing to go out and adjust for.

1 Hz is a lot to sensitive electronics.

1 Hz is a lot to sensitive electronics.

Not really

If I do my math right, 1 Hz, means you've lost around 50 rpm. Seems like a lot for a governed engine.

I guess I'll have to watch the freq close the next time I'm on the generator. If I'm using the Branson she's on the economy mode and turning about 1700 rpm with a plus/minus 10rpm as I recall. When the IH574 is on it she's right around 1900 rpm and fairly steady. I normally use a killawatt meter in the house to monitor Voltage and Hz and neither vary enough for me to worry about. I've never lost any electronic or electrical device while on generator power. I have seen lost time (4-5 min) on a wall clock after a few days of use.

My Massey easily looses 200 rpm’s from no load to full load. I wouldn’t ever use it for a PTO generator for that, and the bigger reason being, I need it for other chores, like snow blowing, bucket work, etc..

Just a reason for more tractors

Can anyone point me to the smallest KW output 4 pole pto gen.?

I've been looking at the 10-12 kVA range.

I may need to go larger.

They have pto kits in size you're looking for.

I NEED to get a pto gen. so my wife doesn't make me get rid of one of the tractors......;-)

The thread starter here has a 25 or so HP subcompact tractor. I also have one and I'm not convinced there is a governor. The throttle lever controls the fuel feed in the injector pump but I don't see any sort of feedback device. I think any significant load increase is going to drop the RPM's until the throttle setting is manually increased. I could be wrong. One of my concerns is that running unattended for a few hours, the throttle lever, held in place by friction, could drift.
