THIS IS MY TAKE ON THIS SUBJECT , (1) WHAT TYPE OF FUEL IS READILY AVAILABLE at all times at your place and with ample supply for extended use???? Nat. Gas , propane , diesel , or good gasoline ?? what are your power needs?? for everything . a little over kill is a lot better then not enough. I have thought about this for sometime now . And for me i have figured that here at the house the best for me would be a 15-17 Kw unit that runs on Nat, gas as there is always nat. gas unless we have a earthquake and lines get ripped apart. and the price of a genrac stand alone hard wired direct into the house is not that bad . and about twice the price of a PTo unit . Now if by chance that we did loose power and i had say a PTo unit the power to run it is not a issue for me as the S/MTA would run it or the 806 or even the S/H and i do not think that i would need to use the 1486. . The big issue would be the Fuel if the power went out and i had the tractor in town to run the house if i am out of power so is the gas stations and my fuel supplier . The next big issue would be the noise here in town with a tractor running all day and half way into the night . A portable one say around 5500-8500 watts would do the job but it would limit some things and you know darn good and well it would be a fight getting it running after setting for say a couple years . So my thoughts here is that a stand alone one that does a seft test say once a week for a few min. at a time would be better piece of mind plus it does it's own switching over when the grid goes down .

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
