Generator set with Power Take Off

[anonymous-user]

Does anyone know where I can find a supplier, or a manufacturer of a generator which has a power take off?

We need to power a baling machine which requires 90KW to power it, normally powered by either a tractor OR an electric power pack with PTO shaft which would be linked to a diesel generator.

I don't want to buy a tractor to power this because it needs 120hp to create the 90kw necessary to power the machine, and the power pack + generator solution is quite expensive.

Has anyone seen a generator with a power take off, or a stand alone diesel engine with a power take off?

Have found the solution today... Essentially what you suggested by using a new engine with gearbox reduction to PTO output.

I would do what you suggested but the guys here are not comfortable going down the home made route. Haha.

It's not for a farm ;-), it's actually to power a waste baler, which uses the same tech as the farm version, just different internals, so they kept it powered by pto and not internal engine power which is slightly annoying if you don't want to buy a tractor.

Asides from money why would anyone not want a tractor?

If you want shiny talk to mechserv in Arbroath Scotland they can do that kind of stuff as it's quite common for diesel powerpacks

Cheers, will do.
