I have pretty reliable power where I live but on occasion it will go out. Mostly maintenance reasons. So my use is minimal. I do have a 25K PTO generator that I power with a JD 4700 (48HP). I never expected to get the full power out of the generator the the JD 4700 but I runs just fine with the smaller normal load. If I would need full power for some reason,I will just hook up a bigger tractor. That said you will probably have enough power to run a load up to limit of the HP of your tractor. But as others have said, Im not sure how smooth the frequency (60Hz) will be. As for PTO speed. I use a frequency/voltage meter that can be bought in many places including on line. I adjust the PTO RPM to obtain a frequency of 60Hz rather than adjusting to voltage. At 60 Hz my generator has a voltage of about 129VAC no load then drops to 125VAC with load. It runs everything in the house plus some out buildings. I have even welded with it. I prefer a PTO generator as it is one less engine to keep up and I know my tractor is in good shape. I do have other portable generators that I have to work on each time I try to start them.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
