Generator Powered By Tractor Hydraulics

Generator Powered By Tractor Hydraulics ENERGY Miscellaneous “Our portable generator is there when you need it and out of the way when you don’t ” says Paul Newton Harrison Hydraulic Solutions “It is 50 percent smaller lighter and less expensive than gas-powered generators It is more portable reliable and starts in cold weather It’s also maintenance free theft proof and has a longer life cycle ” Harrison offers customers systems for 3 scenarios A standard system uses an on-board system with the company’s hydraulic motor-driven generator Modular systems include any missing components needed in addition to the generator A complete system powered by the motive power drive train includes the hydraulic pump and reservoir in addition to the hydraulic motor powered generator “Our 3kW generator is made to be grabbed and used in the field for any corded tool normally used in the shop like grinders welders and saws ” says Newton “It only needs 6 to 8 gal per min flow but it does need a static throttle and 1 500 psi Generators can’t adapt to changes in the flow rate ” One way to overcome that problem is to use the tractor pto to power a hydraulic pump which in turn powers the generator “We use a variable replacement pump which adjusts for engine speed and maintains a constant flow for the hydraulic motor on the generator ” explains Newton “We’ve done a number of things with tractors for our customers We are only limited by the capability of the tractor and what the customer is willing to spend ” Suggested retail price for the 3kW generator is $1 020 The company also makes hydraulic-powered generators up to 50 kW in output Units larger than the 3kW generator are mounted on trailers They tend to be used with heavy-duty welders or other high power demand uses Newton emphasizes the common features of hydraulic generators large and small “Running them off a tractor engine eliminates the need for a second engine with its own fuel needs ” he says “Gas-powered generators often fail when not regularly maintained and used A typical hydraulic-powered generator can exceed 20 years use versus 3 to 4 years with a gas-powered generator ” Integrated hydraulic technology is an area the company specializes in It utilizes the on-board drive train to power a hydraulic pump which in turn can power an array of hydraulic motors The company’s demo service truck is equipped with rescue tools water pumps air compressors work tools winches and hydraulic cranes “They are all on slide-outs ” says Newton “We can sell the entire package or individual applications ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Harrison Hydra-Gen 14233 West Rd Houston Texas 77041 ph 281 807-4420; toll free 800 723-3334; sales@harrisonhydragen com; harrisonhydragen com
