PTO Driven AC Generators

YES THEY SURE DO + YOU CAN PICK ONE UP AT AN AUCTION I GOT ONE FOR 200 BUT THEY USUALY RUN A LOT MORE THAN THAT I CAUGHT EVERY ONE SLEEPING ON THAT ONE WHICH DOESENT HAPPEN VERRY OFTEN

: : In the 1960's our dairy farmer neighbors had a pto driven ac generator. When the storms would knock out the power, they would hitch up the generator to their 4020, plug into a box on the power pole, throw the cutout switch and be back in business. The cutout switch ensured that no electricity could get on the commercial lines which would be dangerous to the crews. Do they still sell pto powered generators today? Or does anyone still have an old working unit?

A 25 KW will put out 104 amps. @ 240 volts, and will requier 45 hp. Cost $2000 t0 $3000.
Not cheap, and this does not include the transfer switch.

Good luck,
