I was just asked about the PTO generator idea, The PTO can run a generator at a low 540 RPM so your truck/tractor/deuce can idle and give you 10-12-15Kwh worth of power to feed the house or what ever is required, problem in a bug out situation is FUEL. I feel for the money this is the best on the market, about 1/4 the cost of a diesel generator bought at a discount at the store.
GL is a different story if your going to go that route, I was just asked about the PTO.
Remember the 4 main storage items FOOD, WATER, SHELTER/HEAT and FUEL.
What good is a PTO generator if you do not have the fuel to run the truck........?
I feel this is a must for anyone in need of ready made power, Just need the fuel.This is not an advertisement to sell these. Just good information for all to use.
I guess a question or concern is what is the trans output for the PTO . I don't believe its a 1:1 if its a 4:1 you would need your engine to run at 2160 RPM to get the 60 cycles out of the gen.

What does your truck idle at...? My tractor idles @ 600RPM and thats fine if your over by 100 RPM,I would think the truck would be the same,5-600rpm.
I would set it at 650-700 RPM for idle if you go too much lower then that the engine won't have sufficient oil pressure and the load up a little more with soot and carbon.
To adjust the idle, on the driver side of the injection pump there is a flat blade screw with a spring on the throttle shaft assembly, turn cockwise to incease and visa-versa.
PTO, Hydro welders, gensets etc... I am waiting to get my Deuce and I plan on installing one on the PTO

Its not and neither is most tractors. My tractor ( small 1 is a JD 4320 ) has to run at 2500 RPM for the PTO to run 540. My bigger tractor ( JD1440 ) runs 2100 to make 540 RPM at the pto. Its not a 1:1 ratio with the engine. can't tell you what the deuce or 5 ton ratio is I don't know.But I would bet its not a 1:1
Curious of that myself... The Genset that my friend makes is 4000 watts, and needs 7.5 GPM @ 1800psi hydro pressure...I was going to install a hydraulic pump on the PTO to run it...Figured I could run Hydro chainsaw, extrication tools, winches etc...

Look at your Tach on your kabota there is band that say 540 PTO it will be were the tach is in the 2000 + rpm range of the engine. Unless you have a 1000 RPM pto which then it would be in the 1100 to 1200 range. Most PTo's are 540 but some earlier tractors have both.

Ok I will ,thanks for the help, I will look at it when I get home.
BTW my brother has a smaller PTO generator 10Kwh same brand and he was bragging about the fuel economy. The Military maintenance truck M1031 have the generator, air compressor built in the back, what RPM does theirs run at...? Thats what I want to know and the hook up as well.
PTO GENERATOR for any use
