A few years ago ABC warehouse (an appliance discount store in my area) sold me a 5000 watt 10 hp self contained unit. I have pressed it into service on several occasions. It runs the entire house without problems (minus the airconditioning). Unless you need to generate a lot of KW a tractor mounted unit does not seem like a good choice to me. Either way you have an extra unit taking up space and with the self contained unit you do not have to put hours on your tractor. I only paid $320 for the unit I have but I suspect the prices have increased considerably with the Y2K thing and all. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck with whatever you decide.
