Cool. Let's see, $6000 for a used tractor + $1600 for the genhead = $7600
for a 17KW generator, but it will mow the grass as well.
But it won't turn itself on when there's a power failure.
OTOH, on one occasion my parents' Generac standby unit didn't either.
Lightning took out their transformer, the generator fired up, and 30 seconds
later the transfer switch figured the generator hadn't stabilized yet, so it
waited for Hell to freeze over before engaging. The worst of both worlds, the
generator was burning propane but the lights and refrigerator weren't working.
I went out there in the storm, turned the generator off and back on, and the
transfer switch engaged properly. But it's made us leery ever since of depending
on the thing to do its job when nobody is home.
