[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1084340, member: 17764"] If you are going PTO driven, might as well get a big one 7000 watts might sound big but my portable in the shop is bigger and uses very little fuel. I can say this for sure - if you want to run a fridge and stove and hot water tank and pump water and maybe run a few heaters 7000 will NOT be big enough. There is a used 15KW pto genny on ebay right now for 1800 - and I know they can be had cheaper if you look around. Northstar has 13KW gennies for sale for about 1500 bucks Do not know your budget but you can get standalones for a pretty good price that are larger than 7KW It is my personal belief that you can never have too much power when the lights go out. Just some food for thought Either way - no matter what you do - when the lights go off you will be happy to have one - even a small one. So grab one (portable or pto) it really is your choice - get as big a one as you can afford because it is a pain when you are out of commercial power and your own system does not "quite do the job" and be sure that (a) you know how to make it work, (b) you know it DOES work, and (c) be sure you know how to pull the power at the pole so you do not send your home generated power down the line to where the boys are working - they really will not like you if you do! LOL When trouble comes your house will be the one people will come to. Cheers Bez [/QUOTE]
