Baumalight TX18 PTO Generator, 18 kW Output

The Baumalight TX18 offers 18 kW of continuous power with a 37 kW surge capacity. The brushless, capacitor-regulated alternator supplies stable single-phase 120/240 V electricity with ±6 % voltage regulation using only 34 hp via a 540 RPM PTO. It is used for emergency backup, remote sites, welding support, or farm operations. An integrated display meter and circuit breakers are included. The tractor must supply approximately 34 PTO horsepower for the generator to produce its full continuous output.

Technical Specifications
Performance
At half load, it draws approximately 15 HP; at full 18 kW output, it uses about 34 HP. Available tractor horsepower determines how much of the rated generator output can be used. Clean power delivery and multiple outlets make it suitable for simultaneous tool use, welding, or emergency backup.
How much tractor power does the TX18 require?
The TX18 requires 34 HP at full output from a 540 RPM PTO. A larger tractor can be used when the PTO speed and driveline setup are correct.
Is the TX18 single-phase?
Yes. The TX18 supplies single-phase 120/240-volt power. Load planning and transfer equipment should be reviewed with a qualified electrician.
