I had a PTO generator for over twenty years. What I found out was they are PIA. You will go months/years at a time and not need them. So they get pushed into the back of the shed so when you do need them you have to move stuff for half a day to get to them. Then twice mine would not work when I got it out. Something about the field being dead. The generator guy flashed the windings???? Don't have a clue to what that does. Second time I sold the piece of junk. I bought it new and it did not have 100 hours of use on it.
So several years ago I purchased a stand alone backup generator. It runs off of my 1000 gallon propane tank. It starts up within 30 seconds of the electric going off. It switches over automatically. I really like the fact that it starts and runs periodically to keep the batteries charged up and the motor running correctly. I have a 35K setup that will run everything here on the farm. Including the silo unloaders. I have about 15K in the setup but I have a lot more peace of mind with having it.
When I have the cattle yards full of cattle I have to have water 24/7 so I can't go for hours with out power to the well. Plus my wife has health problems. I don't want her to have to worry about things if the power goes off. She needs AC and her meds need keep cool. This way if I am alway from home I don't have to worry about things while I am gone.
