I went with a PTO generator. I also have a 20 year old coleman 3200 watt that still operates just fine too. The PTO is rated at 50 amps/13500 run and 15000 surge. I bought a brushless type for the PTO and never had a problem having to excite to get it to operate and once set for 4 years. The tractor I use it on is 96 HP with 540 and 1000 pto. When generating I use the 1000 rpm PTO and run the engine at 1,200 rpms. Tractor has a Deutz engine and is easy on fuel. Also has full torque at 1,150 rpm's. So it handles the generator very good at a lower rpm. Tractor has a 40 gal. fuel tank so it'll run over 24 hours with no problem.
I use a mechanical interlock on the service panel so the main breaker can't be turned on while the generator is in use. Got enough cable and quick plugs so I can set the tractor about 100 ft. from the house and after getting the generator on the tractor I can be hooked up and running in less than 5 minutes. Can hardly hear the tractor running in the house. Anyway that's what works for me.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
