Not on a tractor no, but outside of the auto world alternating
generators can generate just fine.

Generators problem is they need high rpm to get high amps,
alternators have a certain speed they have to get over before
producing but once over it they can generate large amounts of
current throughout the engines operating range.

I can leave all the field lights and cab blower on full tilt with my
engine at idle and not run my battery down. Try that on a
generator tractor for any length of time and you'll find a dead
battery in a hurry.
