Hello Cory, this unit is designed to be coupled to the power take-off of a tractor via a PTO shaft. The HP required from the tractor’s PTO, to achieve full power from the unit, is 54HP. If you are looking for a single/two bearing generator end to couple direct to an engine, please contact one of our sales reps for more information. 507-357-6821.

William McAdoo –
I have 100 hp tractors with bot 540 and 1000 ptos. How can I run a 27kw generator on lower rpms?

Josie Krugerud –
Hello William, This is a great question. The 27PTO, as well with our other 540 units, requires a steady 540RPM to maintain correct voltage and frequency. Some do use their 1000RPM tractor and lower to 540, so long as the tractor’s engine governor can maintain 540RPM. If 540RPM is not maintained, you not only can damage the equipment, you could potentially damage any load that is being powered.

Josh –
Is there a way to regulate the frequency on this? For instance if this was hooked to a home and took a surge in power demand and the PTO dropped below 540 could the change in frequency damage electrical equipment? Thanks.

Josh, a drop in input speed from the tractor will drop the frequency. This will in-turn drop the voltage as well. Normally, you protect for voltage surges (high voltage) with either voltage surge strips or a whole-house voltage surge suppression system. You can consult a local electrician for that type of equipment. If the tractor is in good operating condition and size properly, the governor on the tractor will compensate for any load applied to generator and you would expect very little voltage and frequency drops under normal operating conditions.
