Oh, I forgot to mention we've got a lot of tractors, so a PTO generator might be the best option. We store up to 550 gallons of diesel (just had that quantity delivered 2 weeks ago), so that's plenty of emergency power.

Not sure how the throttle gets adjusted based on load. Perhaps a more modern tractor can adjust throttle based on load to keep the PTO speed constant?
