Default hydraulic motors vs PTO

Hydraulic motors are expensive, PTO components are cheap. If
you want to go the hydraulic route, get one suitably sized
hydraulic motor with PTO shaft output, and use that to drive
multiple PTO type accessories.


But that defeats the purpose. A PTO driven generator needs a
gearbox to go 540-1800 RPM, and that's $$. But looking at
SurplusCenter gives me the feeling that my idea won't fly.
Too bad; it would have been nice to be able to run it from the
dozer as well.
