Scott, I have a 55KW Winco that I used during the ice storm this past December. I ran the house on it with it hooked to a JD 2940 and it was steady as a rock. Most I ever saw out of it was 40 amps per leg of 240 so that would be a little less than 10KW running. Factoring in startup surges you will be very marginal on running everything but the well pump, heat, lights and microwave should be OK. The governor on that N Series would be the biggest point of concern. On a 540 PTO you will figure approximately 1 volt drop for every 2 RPM's dropped on the PTO. That would mean that (If you use 2000 RPM engine speed to get 540.... simple but close) then every 8 engine RPM's would drop a volt. To simplify the calculations you could assume a 1 volt drop for every 10 engine RPM drop. If a surge caused a 200 RPM drop then you will drop ~20 Volts. I love mine and so have the neighbors. Four of them bought PTO Generators after seeing mine run. BTW What was happening when I was seeing the 40 amp draw. Daughter taking a shower (Water Pump, Water Heater) Wife Cooking (Oven and stove top 2 burners) Clothes drying and a heat pump running plus all kinds of misc lights. Wife thought the power company was back online.
