TigerPower PTO Generators Keep the Energy Flowing By Steve Prusak We only have to go back a year to remind us of the precarious situation Florida residents face when hurricane season rolls around. The sale of gas-powered generators at state retail hardware stores has soared since then as we buy them up in nervous apprehension of what nature may send our way. The ever-present threat of summertime thunderstorms we know all too well, send us scurrying to seek shelter from the storms. The masses huddle inside their homes hoping lightning doesn't strike too closely and cause a power outage. Our dependency on electricity, and in particular, how much we rely on it in scorching summer heat, weighs heavily on people's minds at this time (especially this year). "Those gas-powered generators may not always be reliable," said Drew Roemer, general manager of Landig Tractor Company in Tampa. "It's not good to leave them sitting around with gas in them for months at a time," said Roemer. "As the gas gets old and stale they often won't start - and in many cases - the battery dies." Now, for tractor owners with a power take off, there’s the TigerPower PTO generator, that is highly dependable and requires no maintenance. TigerPower is the brand leader in the PTO generator market throughout the United States. It's supplied by DynaTech Industries, with its headquarters nestled in the rolling farmland Central Pennsylvania. TigerPower PTOs are now prowling far and wide due the vision of Lyndon B. Risser, DynaTech's chief executive officer. "I've worked in the power equipment industry for years," said Risser. "I became convinced that PTOs were an amazing product that could help millions more people than they already were IF the design and marketing were refined." So that's what he did. Because the Tigerpower PTO generators attach to an existing power source, you don’t have to maintain another engine. TigerPower generators use the power of the tractor - even a small one like a riding lawn mower -to create an immediate source of electricity. These generators normally cost about a fourth as much as gas-powered generators and they last longer too. TigerPower PTOs are engineered with only a few moving parts, none of which need maintenance. And no skills needed - just plug the TigerPower unit into your tractor and start using the electricity. For easy control of the power they create, TigerPower PTOs have a main circuit breaker and two secondary breakers. Even the smallest units have two 120-volt outlets as well as a 240-volt outlet for power-hungry equipment such as a welder. Other TigerPower models are made to hook up with larger, more powerful tractors and provide more usable voltage. But these are not just power monsters; they're also designed to run sensitive equipment like computers. Roemer, who carries the product at Landig Tractors said TigerPower PTO generators come in sizes from 10 Kilowatts (kW) to 100 kW. He stocks sizes of up to 30 kW. They are available in three-phase as well. "The rule is that for every two horsepower of the tractor, you can produce one Kilowatt of electricity,"said Roemer. He said he sold a unit to a builder with an on-site tractor. The customer hooks up the TigerPower PTO generator to his tractor and powers his tools that way. Power can be used anywhere there’s a tractor with the TigerPower PTO, said Roemer. "They're (DynaTech) great to deal with," said Roemer. They're very supportive of their dealers and customers." Here's how several owners use their TigerPower PTOs.: * Running a house full of appliances and lights – even air conditioning – when needed * Powering lights and refrigeration at parties and meetings * Providing power at a hunting camp or campground store * Supplying temporary power at construction sites * Welding far from normal power sources * Running an elevator to load trucks in the field * Powering irrigation machinery * Backing up generator sets at wastewater treatment plants * Taking advantage of an unused power mower during the winter to maintain lights and heat municipal buildings * Feeding emergency power to aquaculture pumps * Powering barn and outbuilding ventilation, water, and feed systems "DynaTech also offers an unconditional 5-year warranty on parts and labor," said Risser. Perhaps the most important attribute of the TigerPower generator PTO, especially in the Florida market, is its dependability after a protracted period of non-use. "You can set the TigerPower PTO in the shed for three years and it's still ready to rock and' roll," said Risser.
