iirc I seen a vintage Farmall at a show with a large 25 to 30Kw AC alternator factory mounted on the right side of the tractor. The owner claimed that plan was to use electric motors on balers, pull type combines , forage harvesters etc. Instead of running pto shafts ?
Yes, no or maybe ?

Yes, it drove off the belt pulley drive. Called Electrall and was a short-lived attempt to use electricity in a similar fashion as hydraulics.
