I do use one, made by WINCO:
WINCO, Inc. – Power in Quality
I also have a Honda powered 4000KW that I use both as stand-by power and for tasks around the farm that require electric power for tools and compressors to run nail guns, etc.
I really like redundancy since we have lost power for upwards of a week after big storms. The PTO will power the entire house except for the heat pump. That includes potable a/c units I have in storage, freezers, fridge and the well pump for water.
I will generally use the PTO during the day and the potable gas gen at night if need be.
Again, your property looks great...best.
