This may not answer your question - BUT - most of the easily paralleled generators are under 3KW and inverters and cost a fair bit more.
You might get by with a pair of HF 3.5KW which are on sale for $750, but probably most people will dump on those and tell you to get a pair of Honda EU3000's for $4,000.
The pair should be enough to run your welder.
Now if you need more power there is a 10KW generator that undergoes yo-yo pricing. It's the Duromax 10000 watt dual fuel . Right now it's price is at $1,199. BUT it often cycles down to below $650, once to $550. I do not understand their pricing schema but I've been following them for 3 years since I bought one based on this thread. The price will drop down to the $650 or less level and they sell out. Several threads here about using them with welders.
A pair of inverter generators can be separated and used at different sites.
/edit -
Of course if you REALLY want to do it right get a pair of Honda EU7000IS's and a parallel kit for about $8K.
2 120v Honda type inverter gens hooked together won’t make 240v. So the 240v welder won’t work. The twist lock on the front is a 30a 120v.
I learned that the hard way!
