I am looking to buy a generator to power my house in emergency situations, something in the 8000 to 10,000 watt range. I started looking at gasoline generators but then started thinking that maybe a diesel generator would be better choice since I heat my house with fuel oil/kerosene, and would have on hand 200 to 300 gallons at any one time that I could use in a generator. If there were a major emergency, gasoline would be in short supply anayway.
Then I started thinking , since I have diesel tractor (JD 720 electric start), I thought that maybe a pto driven generator would be the most economical choice. My question is, has anyone ever used a pto driven generator in a emergency situation like 2 ro 3 days to power a house, and would you recommend this method?
