: : : : Am in the market to purchase early next year, a welder/generator; probably about like the Miller BobCat, ( arc welder/ 8000 watt generator ) which has an 18 HP engine. Seems like a waste, since I have a NH 1630 compact diesel tractor. Would like to avoid gasoline storage, separate engine maintenance, etc. Does anyone know of a PTO, 3-pt hitch, welder/generator?? : : : Thanks : : : Do you happen to have a regular plug in welder? : : I have a PTO generator and use my 220 welder with it. : : : Thanks, I haven't bought yet. What brand and output of generator do you have? How much does one cost? Do you plug in something like a Lincoln 225 240V AC welder? I am interested in going this route if the generator is readily available and not too expensive. Thanks. Yes, that's the kind of welder that will work. Does your tractor have a 540 RPM PTO? Our power company sells them about at cost. A kilowatt of generator needs about a horsepower. I think mine is a 25 kilowatt. New they sell for about $1,500, used on sales about half that. It really does the standby generator good to use ocassionally to make sure it works. It always seems like a guy is trying to get it going in the dark and cold.
