Low cost Farm generator

Hmmmm…Newbie, Varahaan - the starting up KVA required for 7.5 HP motor is around 33 KVA :frowning: as per the link you gave me…I have seen else where on Internet that double should be fine, so thought about 20 KVA but even this looks not sufficient. Anyways, can you give me your experiences with farm generator, expenses.
