This is the unit I'm thinking of...
<http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_36914_36914>
My idea would be to have it mounted in the basement near a window. In case
I need it, I would just back the tractor up to the window and have a shaft
to put though the window and attach it to the genny.
There is also another unit...
<http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_119923_119923>
Which could run my whole house (would I need to use the car lift during a
power outage? 8>) )
But it's rated for a 47 HP tractor and I only have 45hp. 8>(
Any suggestions?
FWIW, I hear the drawbacks on the pto mount, but my tractor is stored
inside, so it's not a pain to disconnect the current PTO device, then warm
the unit up and drive over to the house. Since it's just a shaft that
would go though the window, there isn't much hook up there. If I need the
tractor for something else, I'm back to no power, but it would be just for
the time I using the tractor, and I have other toys that I could use
instead. 8>)
