3 point PTO Generators

I have a Tiger Power 15w PTO generator I purchased from my Kubota dealer. It is made in Italy, not China and will just about power the whole house. I use my L3400 to run it. I haven't needed it very often but it works great when needed. I installed a connector box near the panel and just plug the generator cable in after changing the lockout switch on the panel. I prefer this arrangement to having a stand alone unit with another gas or diesel engine to service. Plus, i think that the Kubota engine is more reliable and durable than any engine in a stand alone generator unless you step up to an industrial or military spec. unit. The tractor doesn't run any faster than required for the PTO speed. My tractor is always fueled and ready to go and is kept on a trickle charger to avoid a dead battery.
