What is a PTO generator and how does it work?

A PTO generator is a power generator that convertsthe mechanical power of the tractor's PTO shaft into electrical energy. Unlike power generators that run on petrol or diesel, a PTO generator does not need its own engine. The device is mounted on the tractor via the three-point linkage and driven via the standardised PTO shaft. This makes this solution particularly economical, as there are no additional costs for petrol or diesel and maintenance is reduced to a minimum.

The function of a PTO generator is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction:

  • The tractor's rotating PTO shaft drives the generator via a PTO shaft, the speed of which is typically 540 rpm or 1000 rpm.
  • Inside the generator, a rotor with windings converts the mechanical rotary motion into electrical voltage.

A modern PTO generator has an electronic AVR voltage regulator (Automatic Voltage Regulator), which guarantees a constant output voltage regardless of fluctuations in the tractor's speed. High-quality devices also offer switching options between field operation and house operation as well as extensive monitoring functions for voltage, frequency and unbalanced load. The generated energy is available via strategically placed sockets and achieves outputs in the kVA range for demanding applications.

Areas of application for PTO generators

A PTO generator is a versatile power generator that is used in numerous industries. The combination of high output in kVA, AVR control for stable voltage and the switchover function between field and domestic operation makes them the ideal solution for professional applications wherever the supply of emergency power is important.

Power generators in agriculture

  • Power supply for remote stables, pastures and fields without a mains connection
  • Operation of milking robots, feeding systems, heating controls and ventilation systems
  • Use as an emergency power generator in the event of a power failure for operational safety
  • Power supply for mobile irrigation pumps, field sprayers and harvesters
  • Flexible switching between field operation and domestic supply

PTO generator for construction and trade

  • Alternative to petrol or diesel generators on construction sites without a power connection
  • Power supply for tools, construction machinery, drainage pumps and concrete mixers
  • Use in road construction, earthmoving and forestry

Emergency power supply and events

  • Reliable emergency power generator for homes, farms and commercial enterprises
  • Power supply for outdoor events, village festivals and markets

Which PTO generator is the right one?

The robust design and available accessories make the PTO generator a reliable companion for professional use. To ensure optimum performance and reliability, there are a few points to consider when purchasing a PTO generator:

  1. Power and capacity: The power of the generator in kVA must match the energy requirements of your appliances. Plan sufficient power reserves for peak loads and starting currents so that stable power is available even at maximum utilisation.
  2. Power ratio tractor - PTO generator: The tractor should have approx. 2.5 times the engine power in hp as the power generator in kVA. This ensures stable operation even under load and prevents overloading of the tractor engine.
  3. AVR control: All ELMAG PTO generators are equipped with AVR control as standard, which limits voltage fluctuations to just +/- 1% in static operation. This voltage quality corresponds to the public power grid and reliably protects sensitive consumers in agriculture.
  4. Wide range of applications: Whether in agriculture, on construction sites or as an emergency power generator - the switchover function between field and domestic operation makes ELMAG PTO power generators from the IT/TN series universally applicable.

Our service team will be happy to provide you with further information on the optimum dimensioning of the PTO generator.

Special highlights of the PTO generators from ELMAG

ELMAG PTO generators combine decades of expertise in power generation technology with the practical requirements of modern agriculture and commercial applications. Our generator models impress with their high-quality components, sophisticated design and maximum operational reliability for professional use.

  • Highest voltage quality thanks to AVR regulation: Standard electronic voltage regulation with only +/- 1% fluctuation in static operation - perfect for sensitive consumers such as milking robots and control systems.
  • Optimum operation from the tractor seat: Control box with displays aligned to the tractor seat and LED indicator light (red, yellow, green) for safe adjustment even in the dark. The digital multifunction module displays load, voltage per phase and frequency for full control.
  • Maximum safety: 2-stage iso-monitor with warning for minor faults and automatic switch-off in critical situations. Adjustable voltage, frequency and unbalanced load monitoring protect users and consumers.
  • Flexibility thanks to IT/TN switching: In field operation (IT system), protection class IP44 with insulation monitoring enables use without an earthing spike, even in the rain. In domestic operation (TN mains), the device serves as an emergency power generator with mains feed.
  • Robust design for tractors with three-point hitch: Sturdy tubular frame for reliable protection and easy transport with front loader forks, pallet truck or forklift.

With ELMAG quality, professional service and a 15-year spare parts supply guarantee, you can rely on PTO generators that deliver reliable power.

Frequently asked questions

For which machines or vehicles is a PTO generator suitable?

PTO generators are suitable for all tractors with a standardised PTO shaft (540 rpm or 1000 rpm) and three-point linkage. For smaller generators up to 20 kVA, compact farm tractors from 50 hp are sufficient, while larger generators with 40-100 kVA require more powerful machines from 100 hp . The robust design makes the generators compatible with all common tractor brands.

How do I select the right power & PTO speed?

Add up the power consumption of all simultaneously operated devices and allow 20-30% power reserve for starting currents. Your tractor power should be around 2.5 times the rated PTO generator power in kVA - for example, at least 50 hp for a 20 kVA generator. Choose 540 rpm for more compact models or 1000 rpm for larger generators, depending on the available PTO stage of your tractor.

How is a PTO generator installed and operated?

Installation is carried out by connecting it to the tractor's three-point linkage and connecting the PTO shaft to the PTO shaft - ready in just a few minutes. In field operation (IT network), no earthing is required thanks to insulation monitoring; in domestic operation (TN network) as an emergency power generator, professional installation by an electrician is required. Operation is convenient from the tractor seat, all displays and controls are aligned accordingly.

What maintenance is required & how long does a PTO generator last?

A PTO generator is extremely low-maintenance and only requires visual inspections of the connections, checking the PTO shaft and regreasing the bearings every 50-100 operating hours. For professional use, we recommend an annual inspection by our service department to check the generator, AVR control and safety functions. With proper maintenance, the service life is typically between 15-25 years or 5,000-10,000 operating hours.
