buy it it will run all u need to run. I have a 10kw it runs a 2story farm house ,furnance w/4 circulators,well pump,36x48garage,w/lift,aircompress, it never all runs at the same time so go for it. so if its hot out u be cool,cold u be warm, and as for needing ur tractor whats more important staying cool or warm. If something needs done w/tractor move it to the next day.

The HF unit DOES come with the shaft

Your right! I misread the manual

The tractor isn't included-"The PTO shaft must be attached to 2. the tractor (not included) and the Generator. The ends of the PTO shaft slide into the Generator Gearbox, and the tractor PTO drive."

It's even more of a deal with the PTO shaft

No, the wife (that pays the bills) told me that if I want it, buy it. I gotta do something real nice for her one of these days.

Your tractor only has 21 PTO HP. That is if you are using your 2815 to turn this genny. I think you will be a little short on power.

The web site says 21, the handout (pdf) says 22 and I have heard from the Mahindra forum that they are under rated. I doubt that I would use the full load and even if I did, That's a good excuse to buy a bigger tractor.

Youre going to have the ideal set up: big generator powered by a slightly underpowered engine [wrt max gen capability] with a big flywheel. The flywheel /big gen combo gives good ride thru for motor starting surges. The adequate engine handles steady state loads efficiently up to near the gen max.
