(I think it is about 3600rpm at I assume nearly full throttle. ).
I am working on attaching a generator to the front PTO pulley via a V belt. Northern Equipment Company has a generator head that can be used. It is 2900 watts and requires 3450- 3750rpm for optimum output. ( I am currently designing a way to mount it). The PTO pulley measures 4.3inches. The generator requires at least 5hp.
What size pulley might I need on the generator? Probably about the same size or smaller? OR, even smaller since of have plenty of horsepower and could reduce engine speed and yet retain the optimum voltage output. I can measure voltage output with multitester until I get all to the right rpm.
Any suggestions on this on what I am trying to do here?. Thx in advance.
