I also see this thing up near this guy, I might go look at it. Would
make a hell of a power supply for 12V if I could convert it to DC
output.
Big diodes! As-is that'd make a very nice low voltage lighting supply,
for a pretty large system.

Is an ac-dc-ac interface capable of regulation cost effectively?
Not usually, not on this scale!

The big ones, yes. But the electrical grid didn't start
out like that.

I can sell you a Winco unit at a good price - we are a Winco dealer, too.
The Generac home standbys are ideal, as they are designed specifically for the
application and are more or less plug and play. Of course, you pay for that
convenience, but it's all in what you're looking for.

Most farm stores sell Winco generators. the PTO models are made for
540 RPM PTO. I am sure they sell direct drive too. Winco makes a 15
kw and a 25 Kw The 25 would be a match for the 27 Hp Kubota. Just
have to check the engine RPM for the HP and match that to the
generator RPM.I think

Generators easily. Alternators would have to be kept closely in phase.
Maybe with a toothed belt and make one alternator adjustable, like
timing an injection pump?
This could work, but the phasing of the two generator heads
would be very critical. Critical as in if they slip or jump

This is not sarcasm but an actual question. Did you guys read the instructions
(downloaded from H.F.) where is said to use a 16 hp motor at 36oo rpm using a
dual belt? That is one of the good things about H.F. it allows you to read the
instructions.

Note that it's not a direct coupled unit, but belt driven. You would have to
set up some sort of belt drive, which, at that sort of horsepower, would not be
easy or cheap.

True, depending on how many hours the engine has one it, and what type of
