Those things could be 8kw running load. Anything using a motor will have a short term, higher draw during starting. Nothing here allowed for a lights, stove burner, or microwave. Do you have a well pump you will need for water?
We can cover the refrigerator, freezer, oil boiler, and a few lights with a 4kw portable. That won't start our deep well pump, so anything more than a few hours of outage where we can run a few cords from the portable, we go to a 15kw PTO unit. I am starting to look at 20kw installed units as it can be a pain to move things around and set up the PTO unit and fuel for a 60+ HP tractor to set and run a generator isn't cheap. For an installed standby unit, I would say you should be looking in the 15 to 20kw size range to allow for running loads and starting loads that may come on while those loads are running. For the difference in cost between a small unit or a larger one, it is worth the difference not to have to run around and turn things off, so you don't overload the generator if something does start that you didn't plan on.

I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
