Product QuestionsAnswered by Jared, the Generator Expert
Does this come with a category 1 3pt hitch bracket for mounting to the 3pt on a small tractor?
Kevin

Answer
Thank you for your interest in Electric Generators Direct!
The PTO generators will not come with any type of 3 point hitch brackets. Due to the wide variety of tractors on the market, it is difficult to accommodate each a bracket for each brand. You will need to obtain this type of adapter from your tractor supplier.

The alternator and gearbox are both Italian made. IMD build, wires and assembles the panels. They wire up the alternators and bolt everything together and they are tested in Greenville, SC.

What is the advantage of having a voltage regulator? What happens if I don't have a voltage regulator?
Bill
from Wisconsin
February 10, 2011
Answer
In most cases a voltage regulator will help you be able to detect or prevent surges, but the one guiding factor in something like this would be the level of harmonic distortion. With the Volt Master PTO generators, the harmonic distortion is going to be very low, so a voltage regulator would be an added item and not always needed.
