Tractor + Generator = Power

Before we even bought our land and were planning our off grid homestead, we wanted a diesel generator as our backup power system for those endless cloudy days. Why? Because, the cost of dyed diesel is cheaper and, most importantly, I don't have to worry about the fuel going bad after a few months of it sitting in storage. With diesel, I don't have to add extra expensive fuel additives to preserve the gas for a year. Yes, I am putting more wear and tear on my tractor, but I am also running it in the winter and not letting it sit for long periods of time doing nothing, so either case I am probably even on future tractor maintenance.
