Characteristic features of agricultural generators.

The most important advantages of agricultural generators are: > simple design > a solid frame enabling attachment to the tractor’s rear three-point hitch (TUZ), i.e. the Three-Point Hitch System, > an efficient alternator with a gearbox adjusting PTO speed to the required alternator speed All these elements together create a virtually maintenance-free, simple, and user-friendly type of generator. At the same time, its precise design makes it possible to power a wide range of agricultural devices such as milking robots, feed systems, fans, pumps, and many others. Most PTO-driven generators available today are equipped with digital voltage stabilization. This allows even the most sensitive electronic modules, increasingly found in modern agricultural equipment, to be safely powered. |
Operation of a PTO-driven power generator
Operating a PTO-driven power generator is, by design, very simple and intuitive. We start by connecting the generator to the tractor’s PTO shaft and three-point hitch. The next step is to start the tractor and transfer power to the shaft, locking its speed and adjusting it so that the generator reaches a frequency of 52 Hz. Then, the devices we want to power only need to be connected to the socket, the protections lifted, and we can enjoy independence in power supply.
Advantages of agricultural generators.PTO-driven generator is an ideal solution not only for agriculture but anywhere where, having access to a tractor, we want to have reliable and quick access to electricity. Each such generator is equipped with a simple control panel with a display. It provides information about basic parameters such as frequency, power, voltage, current, and operating hours. Purchasing a PTO-driven power generator represents an excellent balance between price and the amount of electrical power offered. It is much cheaper than generators equipped with their own engines. The wide range of available capacities, from 14 kW to over 60 kW, makes it possible to meet the needs of most users seeking this type of solution.
