Using a 200hp (or whatever it is) engine to power a 7kw generator is unlikely to be particularly efficient. That would be better suited to an engine in the 15hp

Using a 200hp (or whatever it is) engine to power a 7kw generator is unlikely to be particularly efficient. That would be better suited to an engine in the 15hp range. Fine for occasional use but you'd be better with a real generator if it was regularly required. Also, for bonus points the power doesn't go out when someone needs to go pickup an extra sheet of ply.
