I found a real cheap site for PV stuff and inverters (plus tons of other 
stuff). Haven't purchased anything from them yet, but they list on eBay 
and 
have good feedback there.

So do lots of us!  <grin>

Snow blades are really not a problem.  They were made by Brinly.  If you
can't find a generic Brinly or similar garden tractor blade to adapt,
Technical Service in Wisconsin (608 868-6220) sells them new for
something like $150 + shipping (check that price; my memory may be
playing tricks on me here).

Tillers are pretty scarce and bring good prices when they turn up.  I'm
looking for one, but not too actively since I would only use it once in a
while.  Some folks have adapted gas tillers.

As for the "generator," you might look into PV system inverters.  I have
seen them in 24 volt versions, so I imagine someone makes a 36 volt
inverter.  You should be able to get just about any power capacity you
want.  It won't be cheap, though, unless you can find one used.  Watch
the classifieds in the back of Home Power magazine (for subscription
info, see http://www.homepower.com).
