I studied this very same thing about using a Ford select o speed tractor I had with 2 speed pto
It's all good theory but there's one issue
Although your David Brown and my Ford 4000 are rated nearly the same once you idle the engine down to 1100 rpm to operate that 1000 shaft at 540, you've lowered the engines hp output by nearly half or more.
So now your only getting maybe 20-25 hp output from the tractor that will get you 10-12 kw from the generator before the tractor starts choking down changing the hertz output and causing everything to go crazy.
I thing you may be able to operate the generator like you want but you'll have to limit what your operating in the house, you won't be able to operate the furnace while the water heater or cook stove is in operation
We ran our house minus the furnace on a 5500 watt generator but only by turning certain things on at a time
Lights, tv, microwave or small electric grill were ok, lights and tv only when we turned the water pump on, water pump off and then water heater on, once water was hot turn water heater off and water pump back on to run hot water. Water heater and pump off and now we can cook with grill and microwave
We had a small 1500 watt ceramic heater to knock the chill off but it also had to be turned off to heat or run water. We now have a propane gas log heater for backup heat
We have a 75KW backup genset at the poultry barns that operated for 10 days during that power outage, at 24% load it burned 360 gallons of diesel or 36 gallons per day average, it's half mile from the house so to far to run a power cord.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
