Baumalight PTO Generator

[ItBmine]

Picked up my new Baumalight TX12 PTO generator yesterday. 12KW, 24KW surge, 50 Amp. I also ordered the 3 point hitch dock instead of leaving it on the trailer. Haven't tried it yet though. Still have to measure and cut PTO shaft.

Only complaint though is the hitch dock is not quick hitch compatible. There is no clearance for the top hook no matter how I adjust it's height. So I have to take it off when I put the generator on.

And I guess if I really wanted to complain, I would have been more than happy to pay $20 more for them to hit the bottom of the cradle with paint, LOL

That's an awesome piece of equipment to bring home. Very nice!

I have a Kubota 7kW diesel generator but it was an impulsive purchase on my birthday a few years ago. In hindsight, something like the Baumalight you bought would have been a better choice. The Kubota is a nice generator and I have all that I need to connect it to the house, but something in the 12kW range that's PTO driven would have been a better choice I think.

On the bright side, the power here is so reliable that there really isn't much need for a generator, so portability is probably the most important consideration, and it was why I bought the GL7000. Well, that's what I tell myself at least.

Nice!

Some people don’t like PTO generators. I’m not one of them. Our electric utility is quite reliable but once in a while…

We had an average quality 7500W “contractor” type generator for years. Output is probably pretty dirty. Could run the oil furnace and freezers/refrigerators off drop cords but no air conditioning, no well water, no electronics.

16kW continuous clean power through a transfer switch was a HUGE upgrade. Being able to run electronics, well pump, air conditioner, etc. is a a total game changer for us: for my wife because she can go on with life as usual; for me, mostly because my wife can go on with life as usual.

You will like your Baumalight. I have mine on the trailer and like it that way, because I can unhook it and roll it into the corner under some other stuff for storage. It’s a great little generator for the couple of times a year that the power goes out. Makes plenty of power for our house on my B2920.
