They only have one model to the best of my knowledge.
The one pictured is designed for the X400/500 tractors with 24 horse gas engines. I don't see any reason why it won't work on a BX, 2210 or a 41xx.
I would have to do some digging on the price, but I think the list is $1600, and I think it is a 10KW output.
All of my water is 275 feet underground. Bad news in a power outage.

No. I don't have one. It is on my wish list.
I am debating on whether to buy a PTO generator that will run my well pump or to get a water storage tank to tap for emergencies and a smaller generator to keep the refer and the woodstove fan running.
Like Ken, we get multiple power outages every year.

Under Deere.com click on Garden tractors........then X series......and accessorize...... and you should find it there. Click on the little diamonds after "10K PTO Generator"

Here is a little preview of what you are likely to hear back from Deere through your dealer:
"The unit is designed for the X series only and not recommended for any other tractor."
Their reasoning is that the base of the unit is designed with the correct height to sit flat on the ground (the recommended running position) and have a level, horizontal drive line relationship with the rear PTO.
That may not be an issue for you as your tractor has much the same stance and wheel size as the X series. Besides, it would be real easy to add some height to the base to compensate for taller tractors.
Near as I can tell the X series uses the same PTO shaft dimensions and has a Cat 1 hitch. There maybe a difference in the lower arm length between models so I probably would not buy the drive shaft they offer.
It would be easier and probably cheaper to wait until you get the unit and measure the distance and cut a drive shaft to a perfect fit. All it takes is a tape measure and a hacksaw. I have a printed procedure for doing that in my BX manual I would be happy to share.

The Northern Tool generator is listed as needing 24 PTO horses for full output. That's good for a 790 but not so good for the 2210/BX/41xx crowd.
Doc, you are right. If you price out the NT unit (assuming you had the HP to run it) and added a trailer and other missing elements, plus shipping, it pencils out more than the Deere unit.
What I was saying about PTO shafts is that I think the X unit uses a common shaft in terms of splines and diameter. But you would know best as you have actually seen one.

If it is anything like our gummint, they probably create a lot of wind.
