I have a 13kw PTO generator as a whole house backup. Our power was typically out for days at a time due to big snows due to downed overhead lines. But the year I bought the generator the power company ran those lines underground, and the power rarely goes out now. So in the past 4 years I have only needed it once, and it ran perfect on my 26hp compact diesel for about 2 hours that one time.
Make sure you get one with clean power that puts out +/5% total harmonic distortion for sensitive electronics (for appliances and hvac). The only drawback I see is that the throttle on the tractor may not hold the RPM at a steady rate over time like a portable or standby generator. If the motor RPM dropped you could damage the powered equipment. I think portable/standby generators have an automatic shutdown if the generator cannot maintain the speed. I set my tractor RPM with a frequency meter and monitored the RPM during the 2 hours.
