Whether it’s keeping operations running smoothly during busy periods or powering essential machinery, diesel generators are invaluable on the farm, explains Darren Binns, National Sales Manager of Jefferson Tools

Generators are essential for agricultural operations, ensuring power during outages or in remote areas. Farms rely on electricity for critical activities such as milking, irrigation, and temperature control in livestock sheds or greenhouses. Any disruption can lead to productivity losses and financial risks.

“Jefferson Tools’ generators meet modern farm demands with reliable power solutions,” says Darren Binns, National Sales Manager of Jefferson Tools. “Their 5.0kW Diesel generator is portable and equipped to power tools like welders or compressors. A standout feature is its remote start capability, allowing users to activate it from up to 25 meters away—saving time and adding flexibility during emergencies or bad weather.”

An optional Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) ensures seamless operation by automatically starting the generator during power outages. This is critical for farms that rely on uninterrupted power for operations like refrigeration and irrigation.

Built for durability, Jefferson Tools’ generators are equipped with an internal cooling system to maintain safe operating temperatures during extended use. This prevents overheating, reduces wear, and prolongs lifespan, which is essential for peak operational periods like harvest season.

Jefferson Tools offers various models: diesel for durability and long hours of use, petrol for compact, portable power, and PTO-powered generators that draw energy from a tractor’s engine—ideal for off-grid fieldwork.

The Minigen Diesel Generator range stands out with its super-silenced canopy, keeping noise levels between 65-70dB. It features a double-bunded fuel tank for up to 18 hours of operation, and an optional automatic mains failure panel (AMF) for uninterrupted power during grid failures. Available in models from 15kVA to 25kVA, the Minigen Diesel Generators are designed for continuous use with MacGen engines, operating at 1500rpm.

Featuring a super-silenced canopy that keeps noise levels between 65-70dB at 7 meters, this unit ensures a quieter operation compared to traditional diesel generators.

For flexible and portable power, Jefferson’s Single Phase PTO Generators connect to a tractor’s PTO system, delivering power where it’s needed most. Rated from 30kW to 45kW, they are mobile and easy to set up, making them perfect for off-grid operations or temporary power needs around the farm.
