To your point, I know how we all (most) love to see how slow we can get our old tractor engines to run. It is amazing how slow they will go when set up properly. If you look at any of the operating manuals for these, they make it clear that the engines were designed to run primarily at "fast idle", or, top speed once they are warmed up. I realize there are times that we need to be at slow idle or not wide open, but not often. I run generators on all of mine. I have no issues with charging. Alternators win hands down for higher charge rates even at idle. But why ruin the tractor like that? I have never seen an alternator on an old tractor that did not look like a wart on someone's nose. If you really want to go for higher output and more modern equipment, why not add LED lights and digital gauges? Then they would not just stare at the wart on the nose. LOL
