I wouldn’t want to have my expensive tractor tied up to a generator function during storms.
That's a super-important concern. Convenience, ease of access, fueling, etc, all are factors in deciding what kind of backup one gets, if any.
Around here, there are a wide range of b/u philosophies. Not one uses a PTO generator on their tractors, if they have tractors. 2 neighbors I know use no b/u at all. Just some ice from the store, plus the woodstove and flashlights. At the other extreme are 2 neighbors who have solar panels with Enphase batteries. One of those 2 has no genny at all, and has run the batteries down during a couple of longer cloudy outages. Then there are the whole-house genny folks; some of them have fancy 20KW or more propane-powered auto-b/u generators, and others use cheap, loud 5-10KW-ish units in a shed, or their garage.
Propane is a huge issue for gennies here. The bigger units can cost $150 or more per day to run, and running out of propane is a risk. If the storm is long, road access problems could keep the propane trucks away.
I take a middle road b/u strategy. I run gasoline, but not all day. Just an hour or so at a time when needing refrigerator access. 3-4 times per day. Not too noisy, and easy electric start, I use less than 2gal per day of gas. Manual breaker controls, and no extension cords. I also have a Honda EB3000C as b/u b/u in case the Onan fails. I am fortunate that I have gravity-flow water with a large tank, an excellent wood stove, and a super-insulated concrete house.
