Where we live power goes out occasionally so I keep a modern 2.8kva inverter generator which is enough to power my office/internet and a few core household items.
Basically you can connect this to the back of a tractor via PTO and you get significant power generation for a reasonable price relative to buying the equivalent standalone generator. This assuming you have a tractor... don't we all?
If someone was interested in backup powering a whole house type thing there is regularly older tractors going for cheap and those engines are really built to work. Might be worth considering vs a car engine.
