In Cherokee, Iowa, two brothers, John and Gerhard Albers, developed a wind generator to recharge a six-volt storage battery. They called their invention "The Wincharger." It worked so well that friends and neighbors were soon asking the Albers brothers to build Winchargers for them. Their business grew and in 1935, Wincharger was incorporated as a business and manufacturing was moved to Sioux City, Iowa.
During World War II, the Dynamotor was developed and used in military aircraft and ships. After the war, the Dynamotor became the basis for the two bearing generator know today as the 2FS which is still sold in large quantities for pressure washers and man lift applications. Wincharger continued to expand its product line by initiating new designs of Dynamotors, inverters, alternators, Winchargers, engine-driven generators, transistorized converters, ground electrical support equipment and radio receiving sets.
In 1950, the Winco line of Power Take Off (PTO) generators was born. This line of generators was designed to run off of the power takeoff drive of a tractor. A complete line of portable engine-driven generators was introduced for commercial and industrial applications in 1952. Research and development continued to produce important innovations. In 1955, their company introduced the first automatic idle control (conserver) for portable generators. Extended engine life, fuel conservation and reduced noise were all-important benefits to be derived from their invention which has set an industry standard for portable generators.
The Maxi-Watt and Full-Power generator designs were introduced in 1964. These designs vastly improved performance in heavy-duty motor starting applications and provided usable full capacity output at 120 volts, 240 volts, or both simultaneously. In 1970, their company introduced the Winco Automatic Power Systems - a complete line of packaged standby generators. Key to their success of the packaged standby generator was the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). The ATS made it possible to automatically start their standby generator when normal electrical power was interrupted.
By the mid seventies, Winco had become a major supplier of generators to the rental and construction markets. In 1978, Winco began producing water-cooled generators. In the same year, Winco developed the first switchable voltage Mobile Power System to supply temporary and emergency power needs in the construction, industrial and government markets.
In 2000, a number of new Packaged Standby Systems were developed as well as some redesigns of existing models. In this new decade, Winco is looking forward to a number of new products and innovations.
Today, Winco customers continue to benefit from their 75 years of generator experience. Recent additions to their line-up include their new 10 & 12 KW Honda powered Home Standby systems, a rugged and powerful 12 KW portable model for the Construction and Roofing Market and a new 6KW Tri-Fuel portable for Home Standby that runs on gasoline, LP or natural gas. Across the board they are incorporating new technology to provide the cleanest and most reliable power in the industry. Winco generators are built with pride and their primary mission is quality.

Comments about Winco PTO Series Tractor Driven Single Phase 25 Kilowatt Generator:
BOTH the key and the roll pin that are needed for\nthe attachment of the tumbling bar PTO shaft are\nprovided with the generator -- NOT with the PTO\nshaft that I purchased with the generator. \n\nClearly, since the Winco people provide both the \ngenerator and the shaft in question, they should\nknow how long that roll pin should be to extend\nall of the way through the yoke of universal\njoint that attaches to that input shaft for the\ngenerator.\n\nWhile the provided roll pin does keep the yoke\nfor that universal from coming off that shaft,\nthe roll pin is NOT long enough to extend all\nof the way from one side of that yoke to the \nother!\n\nBy the way, even though they say nothing about\ndoing so, just for safety, I put a wire through\nthe center of that roll pin and twisted same in\nplace, to negate the possibility of the pin\neventually working itself out of that hole in\nthe yoke and in the input shaft.

Comments about Winco PTO Series Tractor Driven Single Phase 25 Kilowatt Generator:
While I built my own category II three point hitch\nplatform, primarily from 6 inch channel iron, I\nfound that NONE of the related receptacles were\ncovered, the receptacles had no interlock\nprovisions, and the control housing offered\nvirtually no protection for adverse weather.\n\nAt least as an option, instead of the provided\nFULL POWER plug and receptacle, I would suggest\nthe use of the Hubbell HBL4100R12W receptacle,\nand the locking & weather protected HBL4100P12W\nplug for same. I installed such a plug on the\nother end of the flexible neoprene coated number\nfour cooper connection cable, and the receptacles\nin question, along with BB1001W angle back\ncast aluminum housings for same in each of the \ntwo locations where the generator will be \nconnected for use.\n\nBy the way, I used three phase double throw\ntransfer switches in each of those locations,\neven though only single phase was involved,\nso that ALL connects would be switched, and\nthus prevent any possible feedback, through\nour transformer, to the 7200 volt power lines.\n\nLikewise, I built a tubular frame work over the\ngenerator, over which I can place a tarp to \nkeep any rain or snow from coming into contact\nwith the receptacles on the generator, as well as\nthe generator, itself.\n\nI would like to find 1/4 inch Lexan, which could\nbe permanently mounted on that tubular frame and\nstill allow excellent view of the entire generator\nand the control panel for same.
