OK Rod, if you call my industrial planer and chip blower "no load at all"... They remove 3/16" off a 24" oak board in one pass. No idea what your problem was with 45 hp, but something's amiss. You apparently weren't getting much PTO hp.
I'm generating 17KW, with a Mitsubishi compact. Yes, running hard- without complaining. Been happy with it for over a decade. The planer's loud enough, the tractor isn't a problem. If I needed 25KW, I'd need a slightly larger tractor. Or a 540 rpm hydraulic motor to run off one of my Cats. Bought one a few years ago, haven't bothered to plumb it.
When I need portable power it's usually small enough tools that I can get by with 1000 rpm PTO. A lot closer to that "no load" you were talking about. My PTO generator came already on a trailer, very convenient.
There really are a lot of options available. Depends on what one has and how much load. Strikes me as unusual that anyone would always need the maximum 25KW. Maybe you do. Certainly the guy I bought mine from, who was using a 45 hp tractor, didn't.
He sold it only because neither he nor his "electrician" could figure out which legs wouldn't blow up his expensive cash registers, even though there was a sign just over the plugs identifying what voltage you get on which plugs, color-coded. A $3 voltmeter would have sufficed. Otherwise, it powered his commercial coolers fine. That load varied a lot. They went to single phase and were happy. As am I.
