[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1077122, member: 17764"] The actual brand name is not important as many of them use the same components A Honda or Briggs&Stratton engine to drive the generator. In my opinion the Onan generator is the best one on the market - there are others that are good but Onan has been around a long time for a reason. So if it has both of those components then do not worry about the actual brand of the maker. 8-10K will run about most anything you likely need on a small operation. If you need something bigger go for a PTO generator - we have used them here a couple of times. Remember the biggest load is not steady state - it is the start up load when you run electrical equipment - which can be double the steady state load. When the power is off for miles around it is nice to be able to see at the kitchen table! My next one will be the smallest Cummins engine teamed with the Onan generator. Have fun Bez [/QUOTE]
