: : : : : : : : 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. : Thanks,
: I will check with our local electric co-op to see if they have literature. My tractor has a standard 3-point and a 540 PTO. If you knew the brand name/model, I might be able to find their internet home page. Here is a link to Winco's home page. These show up at farm auctions on occasion and usually sell for a lot less than new price.
