I have one, and i think it IS the best way to have a generator if you already have a tractor. You won't have a seperate motor to deal with, and if you take care of your tractor it will always be ready to go. Pull the generator out of the barn, plug in in, start the pto, and easily power the whole house! NO extension cords or messing around!
I have mine on a trailor, so i can put my welder on board and weld away from my barn, i also can power a compressor, side grinder, lights, and about anything else i want.
To work well with "on and off" big loads, your tractor needs to have a responsive govenor, i don't know how the old fords are in that department?
You can figure it will take about 2 pto hp for each 1000 watts you generate, and don't take more than 80% of the MAX your tractors pto puts out for any length of time.
Honda's generators are quiet and long lasting, so that would be my second choise after my pto generator.
BTW, mine pto generator is a 15KW with 18KW surge.
