PTO's

[kellys_eye]

..or Power Take Off units for the uninitiated.

Has anyone got experience of these? They are stand-alone alternator units that couple to tractors that have 'universal' rear couplings (normally used to power towed machinery).

PTO's have ENORMOUS capacity for power output and seem to be very competitively priced as far as power generation is concerned.

Of course you need a tractor....... but there should be methods to couple one to a small car (universal joint coupling to driven axle????) with the appropriate reduction gearing.
