12-20kW PTO-driven 3 point generator for tractor

[Rancher]

A lot of times, I have need for big power far out in a pasture, so I have just started thinking about building a PTO-driven generator that I can mount on the Cat 1, 3-point hitch of my tractor. I'm thinking that 12,000 watts is the absolute minimum for purposes of welding pipe fence and other fabrication. Then, there is the running of big pumps and compressors from time to time. Finally, there's the need for a whole-house generator when weather knocks out the power. That takes me to about 20 kW. Something I can back straight up to the power pole and connect to our Generlink interface. I thought about building an AC/DC stick welder right into the works and this wouldn't be bad if I can do it for "not much money". But, I've got plenty of welders that I can take with me. So, it's not a deal-breaker. My tractor is 30 HP and 20kW is about 27 HP, so I may not have enough horse for the power that I want. I need to look into that, as well.

Here I sit, thinking about it....
