During the ice storm of 1998 in eastern Ontario, my brother had the loan of a 25KW 3pt hitch mounted unit. It had 3 meters on it 1 for frequency, 1 for voltage, and 1 for amps. He ran it for 2 weeks on his IH495D about 40HP. I made 2 hooks ups for him, 1 at his dairy barn and the other at his house. It had some kind of internal transfer switch that would not connect the load until the PTO was turning fast enough to produce 60 Hz power. 60 Hz was produced at 540 PTO RPM. The biggest problem is how sensitive the govenor is on the tractor when the electrical load changes especially when starting AC motor loads like a barn cleaner or milker vacuum pump that have starting currents of 2.5 or 3 times running current. The demands on the tractor when connected to the house was much less as most of the load was completely resitive like electric stove, hot water heater. The water pump motor and furnance blower motor or fridge motor starting had no effect on the tractor. Hope this helps. JB
