I have a 25kw pto unit I bought in 1978 ad probably have used 4 or 5 times on the house. Longest being about 15 hrs. One thing for sure, you will appreciate how cheap your electricty is from your power company. We had an electrician come in and recomend the size we needed. I wanted something that would run the whole house, didn't want to worry about having to watch what was on when. You never know when some motors are going to startup, such as well pump, refrig, water heater, or furnace. At the time it would handle everything at once in the house except the oven & electric stove top. Could only have one on at a time along with rest of the house. Since then we have gone to gas stove top and gas hot water heater so it should be able to handle everything now. An M will run it with no problems but I prefer to use the 4020D. That way I don't have to worry about the rpms being pulled down under changing loads. Also better fuel economy as the 4020 never strains. I recomend that you have an electrician size up your needs before buying. If you already have a tractor that is the way I would go. You can buy a lot more capacity for what that engine would cost.
