For the person that doesn't need one real often it could be a good fit. We always have a good running tractor around. So no extra engine to maintain. If you bought a new generator head there's not much savings vs a low cost unit, but if you found a generator with a bad engine cheap.101012 generator bracket painted (1).jpg

Yes Tim. I have thought about using a tractor. I missed out on a ford mounted generator. I was a option for a LGT ford garden tractor. But like you say. Find a generator with a bad engine. That would be a start.

This is the inverter generator I have:

Probably could have gotten by with this smaller one:

Lots of good reviews on youtube. Very quiet and fuel efficient. The igen4500 comes in dual fuel (gas + propane). Also has remote start/shutdown.
Those look to be very nice generators Matt.
