12 gallons aint nothing.



Pretty much. The dairy farm I worked for as a kid used a PTO backup generator. I remember the IH 986 purring for days on end running that thing on many occasions.

They must be pretty trouble free too because they are still using it 25 years later, and it looked old when I was a kid.



Yep,some fuel is cheap when 150 cows need a drink.
75 want their teets pulled, and there is $1200 worth of milk that needs kept cold.

When in that situation, a pto generator can't be beat.
It doesnt need any attention when unneeded, the tractor is always being used and maintained, it will start, it will run.
You probably even have backup tractors if one has problems.


Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
