Looking for a smaller back-up generator for outages and decided not to get a genset. The gas ones don't seem to last long and often don't start when needed, the diesels are out of my price range.
Decided to look at PTO generators, Northern tool has one that is 10kW. I have a Deere 5105 (50hp). To get 540 RPM from my PTO, the tractor needs to run at about 2300 RPM. My question is, if I don't need 10kW can I run the tractor at say half of that, 1200 RPM and get 5000 kW? I'd hate to have my tractor racing to produce extra power that I don't need.
Thanks
