Why would a 83 horse tractor be "laboring" at PTO speed hooked to a 13KW generator? Ought to be just the opposite. Should be turning high RPMs and hardly working at all. When I hook my 17KW PTO generator to a 28 horse tractor - it still doesn't labor unless a real high demand gets put on the generator.

No matter what you do - an 83 horse tractor hardly being worked at 20 horse is going to be a dog on fuel usage.
