Which Generator

[Will100]

I'm just about to move to a hill in Portugal with no mains electricity.
I would like to use my Twin mig 170 there.
Could anyone tell me which generator I should buy.
Thanks for the help

9 - 10 kva I would imagine to run at full pelt possibly a little bigger

as you will be using more than the just the mig at any one time maybe 15KVa
tractor mounted comes to mind

The last collective agricultural auction I went to (April) there were 6 PTO generators ranging in size from 15kva to 25kva and none made more than £350.

I use a 8KVa generator to power my 240 mig and it welds ok. Cannot run it flat out but will give a decent weld on 3mm. Will you be using something else with the mig at the same time?
