I started with just a generator long ago, i then figured i needed a portable welder too, so i bought the generator/welder. The big problem with both of them, was they drink gas!!! These days is really sucks to store gas, and you need to store a bunch of it to run a bigger gas gen. set for a week or more, i know because i did it when my mom was on oxygen. (smokers beware)
I now have a PTO generator. I all ready have the "much easier to store diesel" on my farm, and i use a lot less of it running the pto gen set. Another thing, i can go 150 to 200 hours on an oil change with the tractor if i have to, instead of the 50 hours with a small gas engine. My tractor is quieter than the gas model generators, (except maybe a Honda model) and has a much bigger fuel tank too. That means less running around with gas cans, and haveing to shut the thing down to fuel it.
My pto generator is Winco 15,000 watt cont., 18,000 surge, and i bought it new for $1200.00. You'll spend double that plus, for a generator/welder, and it will cost you a lot more to own!
BTW, any time i need a welder on the farm away from the shop, i just pull my pto get set out there and plug my welder into it, and weld away!!
