·Well, after yet *another* commercial truck slammed into a power pole, its got me thinking about a PTO generator that I could hook up to a tractor.
I figure between that and hurricanes and winter storms (not to mention stupidity like the 2003 blackout that knocked out power to 50 million last year, which thankfully did not affect us) that maybe its a good idea.
Any recommendations on one?
1) The tractor - 42 horsepower at the PTO
2) The house - fairly standard power requirements(don't have to run everything at once, just need to be able to run anything needed)
3) Money available - Sadly, not that much. Everybody is in the same boat when it comes to that...
so affordable recommendations only please.
4)Final considerations - Well, it should go without saying, but it needs to be durable, even if it only gets used during emergencies. Should also have spare parts available in case it does break. And be fairly self-maintaining, if possible.
Thanks in advance.
