Steve: When farming I had a pto generator, that would run the 100 cow dairy barn plus my house. Always ran it with 656 diesel. At milking time with coolers, milking equipment, silo unloaders, house, etc. you could tell 656 had a load,with every thing going. I think diesel is a must if you are going to keep your 60 cycles per min. right. I have hooked 300 or 130 to the generator with little more than house load. I think a 130 or a Super A would run the average house, if your governors are steady enough. You probably wouldn't want to be running an electric hot water heater, washing and drying clothes and cooking a roast turkey with all the trimmings all at the same time. If you are going to do this you should have the light for checking cycles per min. You should also add a shut down switch to tractor, that is designed to shut down if problems with oil presure, water temp, etc. arise. Around here they call them a MURPHY switch.
