Since I am not sure where to post this and since I am considering a 7800 watt pto generator as an attachment, this may be a logical place for my question. I've been reading a bunch of old generaor posts and can't seem to find an answer there. My well point cover states I have a 1and 1/2 hp submersible pump @ 115 volts and rated 2 hp @ 240 volts. I am assuming that because there is a double 15 amp breaker for the pump that it is pulling a 240 load. The local well guy states that I need a 6000 watt generator for just the well alone. The pump is 360 feet down with a 75' outside throw to the house. the generator will be placed another 80 feet from the service box. Since I know little about this stuff, it is wiser for me to get some answers from people in the know. Does this seem a feasible generator for this application. Thank you
