  • This was the first long run test of my house running on my IMD PTO Generator powered by my John Deere 3039R. I discuss some of my reasons for going with a PTO Generator vs. other options as well as how I wired up my breaker panels. I’ll post some follow up videos on how the test went and more details on how I wired my panels.

    Many thanks. I live north of Houston and have been looking to do the same thing. My problem is finding an electrician who understands what I'm trying to accomplish. This setup makes a lot of sense but apparently isn't very common.

    I made a speed increaser for the pro so the tractor runs 1/2 speed. If you need a lot of power take it off and rev the tractor up. Saves fuel

      Do you have a link so I can see your speed increaser?

    Hi Greg, I would spend a few dolars on getting a water tight connector, pennywise, pound foolish. A nice steup, recently bought a 10kw pto winco generator for my Kubota BX25d tractor, also have a Generac 15kw gasoline portable generator which is a little expensive to operate at current fuel prices.Hopefully the power does stay on, but only time will tell. Good luck.

    Thank you for sharing your set up. I am looking into a PTO generator for my 3039R as well. Mind if I ask you a few questions? How many hours do you get of run time on a tank of gas? Is there anything different you would do with this set up? Thanks again.

      Feel free to ask away. If you need to talk for more questions I don’t mind. I never ran the tractor more than 7 hours, I estimate safely 8 hours runtime based off 7 hours and more fuel left in the tank. With a really heavy load maybe less but I haven’t done a long heavy load yet. No I’m really happy with it. I was posting my setup before I finished. I still putter with improvements. I’m putting a steel plate as a cover over it to keep the snow and rain off it. After build my garage I’ll have an awning to park under. I still have some cheap LED meters and current transducers to mount in it so I can have a wire come out of the generator and go to a plastic box to set in the window sill so I can monitor it without going outside. That’s only needed if I lose internet and can’t see my cloud based meter in my breaker panels that I installed. I did all this so if I’m not home it is easy to have my wife to monitor things because she is not electrically savvy. Oh, set your pto genset at the right rpm speed just above 60 hertz, like 60.5 or 61 hz, then press you Auto Speed control. It will maintain your voltage and frequency beautifully. Let me know if you have any more questions. I can get you a price on the IMD PTO generators if you need one. I liked them so much I became a dealer.
