Your tractor and that generator will run your Television 24/7 with no troubles! ;-)
Think about it. The power requirements are up to you.
If you are drawing 30 amps at 240V that...ahh.... err...7.2kW if you are drawing 15 amps, that's half. if 15 amps at 120, half again.
It does not take much of a gen or a tractor to keep up with a bunch of light bulbs.
Put an amp clamp on your panel and see what is "typical" usage for you.
I would bet if you have a small place, and are considerate with what you just have to power, the gen and your tractor will provide all the electricity you could want as a back up source.
Now if you are powering a saw mill, or pumping water..... DO the MATH!
