Yeah, I have no idea if they are linear. Guess one would have to come up with a sensor of some type that would allow for the measuring the rpm of the pto shaft at a couple of different engine rpm levels..

Loss of power in a HST or other torque converter, or other secondary parallel transmissions notwithstanding, PTO rpm and engine rpm should always have a linear relationship in live and most independent PTO's

both gear and hst tranny types will have engine and pto ratio locked.

Harbor Freight sells a 15 KW (16 KW surge) already rigged for 3-pt hitch and has a drive shaft with it. $1500. Sell your 3 and get one of these.

That's a darn good price.

It is a good price. My 12 KW with a 20 hp Honda was a LOT more. I looked for a PTO model, but didn't find that one. I ran it through an outside main disconnect and wired it into the whole house. Got tired of drop cords. If I had it to do over, I'd buy the PTO model. My old Belarus AS250 is better on fuel comsumption than the 20 hp Honda.

i am looking for a connector that will connect 15 on the narrow end and 6 on the larger end to the pto. Can anyone help me?

tractor supply, granger, farm and fleet, farm king, and other agriculture stores, should carry, adapters to convert between different PTO spline types. most online website stores geared for implements / 3pt hitch should also carry the conversion adapters.
