It is much easier to buy a larger pto generator and not need it's full capacity, then to buy a tiny one and run short of power. The larger generator will also be able to start larger motors because of it's capacity for surge loading and then it will have the inertia to carry through a heavier starting load.
I have had my 25KW pto generator for well over 25 years and while I have never needed it's full capacity it is nice to have. Especially in light of the fact that my mini-splits may be a more economical way to heat the house in the winter time and it is nice for the cooling in the summer. I have in the last couple of years come much closer to reaching full capacity.
Get both 3 ton splits running and then the water well (3/4hp) kicks on and the freezers are running and everything just cadillacs along.
