Yeah, the more I think about this, the more I'm thinking PTO. Which 
means another trip to Home Despot for a range cable and plug. Problem is 
those are usually only 6 feet long tops, so the washer will have to be 
close to the tractor.

And I'll have to include a set of alligator clips to bypass the seat 
switch. I really don't like that but when I did the calculations, 2hp is 
going to pull 1,500 watts or so. Which equals out to around 50a, not 
going to work with the little 20a accessory outlet.
