Fellows, as I said, I appreciate the help, but some of y’all are killing me.
My question was how to calculate what the load is on the individual things in my house so I would know what I could safely run at the same time. I did calculate before I bought and I would love to have bought a 15K-20K stand-by generator hardwired to the house with the transfer switch and auto start but the funds aren’t there. I found a Champion 41311 7K peak/6K running watts that has 13 hours on it for $350 that is like new, so that’s what I have. I’m going to use it for EMERGENCY, SHORTTERM power outages to run NECESSITIES.
The heaviest users are the furnace fan and a refrigerator. These will NOT be run at the same time. Next would be a coffee maker, a 40” LCD flat screen, and a microwave, again, not at the same time. The rest is light weight stuff like the GAS tankless water heater, some lights, some cell phone chargers, a laptop, etc. I won’t be having a problem doing this with the generator I bought.

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
