 3 Pt PTO generators

I agree, I also have a Coleman 5000 watt and it does everything I need it to. This is a much cheaper way to go than PTO powered units. While the PTO generators are most likely better built and will last longer than the gas units, if the main use is for power outages, the gas generators will last a lifetime with reasonable care. Who wants to be mounting a PTO generator in the dark in the middle of a storm.

 3 Pt PTO generators

I've got a 5,000 watt Coleman job and have been very satisfied with it. I've taken it across town (actually keep it there) to build the shed I house my tractor in. A couple of years ago we had a snow storm that knocked down all of the power lines here. Power was out for four days (no where near as bad as the Ice Storm, which was a true disaster). I used it to run the house fine. Mind you, that I could not run the electric cook stove but I could operate the water pump, start the oil fired furnace and refrigerator and a light or two. I was mindful not to try it all at once, but everything worked out OK. If the power goes out tomorrow, I would simply go get it in my pickup. It would be a whole lot harder to do if I had to drive the tractor over. LeeqaZ

I always have more gas on hand than diesel. In addition to the 5 gal can for the lawn mower etc, the truck and the car have lots of gas in them that can fuel the generator in an emergency. The largest motor I will need to start in a power outage is the water pump. The pump is 1.5 HP and the 5000 watt (6250 surge) Coleman generator starts it just fine even with the TV and more than a dozen lights on at the same time. We hardly notice we are not connected to the power grid. All this at a third the cost of a PTO generator.
