I don't agree with the tractor useing more fuel, that is if you compare apples to apples. IN GENERAl: The tractor will use fuel according to the load on the engine, so compareing an average set up, a 6 kw generator won't run much cheaper (if as cheap) as pulling 6kw out of my pto gen set useing a 30hp diesel tractor. ALSO, on my Kohler gen set i had, it called for 25 hour oil changes. On my 30 hp Deutz tractor it calls for 200 hour oil changes. Another thing, my tractor runs on much easier to store "cheaper" diesel fuel, and the tank on my tractor is much bigger. Also my tractor runs much quieter than the Kohler powered gen set i had.
I DO realize not all of these advantages will fit the origional poster with his gas tractor. BUT, i still don't think there will be a lot of difference in fuel usage between a Kohler and his ford in fuel usage loaded, but i may be wrong as i've never had a ford on a gen set. To the poster saying pto gen sets are hard on clutches: You have some "other" problem with that clutch, because if it wasn't "over loaded", then there should NOT have been any slipage ruining the clutch!! Only slipage or a faulty clutch is causeing wear! Unless the tractor is MAXED out, pto gen sets are not hard on the tractor!
