In Reply to: PTO Generator Question posted by Jonaspear on October 02, 2008 at 06:13:16:
2 options on tractor engine speed. 1. what we do- for our dual pto tractors- get a spline adaptor to run the 540 gen (actually 1800 rpm with a gearbox) on the 1000 spline, run the tractor at ~1200 rpms. 2. what my neighbor does- i think all his tractors have only 540 pto. so he built his generator trailer with multiple v-belt drive, 2 different stub shafts. so hook up to 1 side and run the tractor at rated rpm (for the smaller tractors or heavy load where you need the power) or move the shaft to the other side and run at slower speed- for big tractors or low load situations
generally, a generator is designed to run at either 1800 or 3600 rpms. depends on the number of poles. then a gearbox to match the 540 rpms from the pto. an 1800 rpm unit generally costs more but will last longer. not much of an issue if you don't use it much.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
