60 cycles are very important, many times overlooked with the PTO units. I tell everyone to unplug their freezers & refrigerators for the first couple of days. If they are not opened they can last a long time. A good idea is extra mules, as if a governor is cracking open, and you are running motors--fuel consumption is the least of your problems. If you put your tractor on her knees to operate anything like lights, and water heater you are probably not hurting anything, but motors can not tolerate low cycles. Exceeding RPM's is defiantly not advisable. As for HP----- Overdo is always better than under do. I tell most of the generator owners to use them at least two times a year. Another word of caution when making your own cart for the generator is wide ---good---narrow---bad--A farmer I know had a bigger generator do cartwheels when he dumped a big load on it. I also worked for a guy that sold generators, and we were very surprised how many good electricians found that a leg wire and a ground wire looked the same, and never dreamed of trying the generators before a ice storm.
