Not much to say, but I have two and so do all my farmer neighbors. If you already have a tractor that you know will start when you want it to, the PTO generator is great. No extra engine to get running after sitting for over a year or more, unused.
Only downside? Don't revv up too much? Use more fuel for small jobs? One of my kids hit the throttle way up once while the house was hooked to it, and the lights got real bright. TV and computers still survived, though. All of my PTO units have volt meters on them and you just set the thottle to get the volate and hertz cycles correct.
For emergencies they're great. But, if you need remote power with small loads, a load-sensing portable inverter genset will use less fuel. But, if gas or even worse - propane - a diesel tractor can do just as well at certain loads.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
