Diesel stand alone is what my son in law has and did a great job and wasn't too bad on fuel either. Was nice to have a nice warm house to sleep in. Still was glad to have power restored 9:00 Christmas morning.Caustic Burno":qzev5bt3 said:john s":qzev5bt3 said:Anyone use a PTO driven generator?

Got rid of mine for a 7500 diesel stand alone.
Didn't like to tie the tractor up as well as the generator only eats about six gallons a day.
Tractor ate way more than that. I bought a Titan 7500 used it for 14 days to run the house after Rita and about a week after Ike.
Walk by and crank it up about once a month runs like a champ. It is also nice to haul out to the job on the place.
I might have just got lucky been a good one so far.

The ones I have seen have a meter on them that shows what they are producing.wbvs58":28xfch16 said:Do PTO generators have good safe guards to ensure you are spinning them at the correct speed to produce the correct frequency current? I would imagine it would be pretty easy to blow equiptment if you were running too slow or too fast.
