10,000 watt belt driven generator, August 19, 2008
By tuggnutt from Duluth Minnesota

"Whe purchased the generator head to supplement our one AC generator. It is driven off the crank of a 40 KW DC generator that provides power for the motors on our tug. This generator provides sufficiant power to run our equipment and saves us fuel too. Awesome product. Fast shipping."

nice compact unit, January 16, 2008
By dgholstein from Northwest New Jersey

"The first units I received from NT had some quality issues, but they took care of everything.
I now have a good running generator, plugged it into the house and everything worked well -- luckily, I haven't had to test it for more than an hour."
