I have pretty reliable power where I live but on occasion it will go out. Mostly maintenance reasons. So my use is minimal. I do have a 25K PTO generator that I power with a JD 4700 (48HP). I never expected to get the full power out of the generator the the JD 4700 but I runs just fine with the smaller normal load. If I would need full power for some reason,I will just hook up a bigger tractor. That said you will probably have enough power to run a load up to limit of the HP of your tractor. But as others have said, Im not sure how smooth the frequency (60Hz) will be. As for PTO speed. I use a frequency/voltage meter that can be bought in many places including on line. I adjust the PTO RPM to obtain a frequency of 60Hz rather than adjusting to voltage. At 60 Hz my generator has a voltage of about 129VAC no load then drops to 125VAC with load. It runs everything in the house plus some out buildings. I have even welded with it. I prefer a PTO generator as it is one less engine to keep up and I know my tractor is in good shape. I do have other portable generators that I have to work on each time I try to start them.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
