I know it is hard but bite the bullet and buy a standby unit.That way the wife will be safe as she dosen't have to do any thing in a power failure. Everything is done automactily.
What you need to do. Is have the power company or an electrician. Take an AMP ready of your house. This way you will know what load you are dealing with. If you have a 100 amp load. I would buy a genset that can handle a 150 amp load. Good to have a little more power than you need.
The way the system works. Transfer switch sees a power dip or failure. It will after a small time delay. It will start the generator. When it detects the proper voltage. It will transfer to the generator. When power returns it will goe through another time delay. To make sure power is stable. It will transfer back to normal or line side. Then the genset will go through a cool down cycle and then shut down and reset it self for the next failure.
It can be on emergency in about ten seconds depending on what you set the delay up for. Cooldown is normally 5 minutes. I would go with Kohler or Onan. Stay away from Generac. I know cheap to buy but hard to get anyone to work on them.Plus if you need parts be prepared to get a bank loan. If I can help you call me 903-536-2816.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
