I've run my 17KW generator many times with my Cletrac HG or Case VAC. Obviously, not at full load - but it ran the house with no problem, including a hot-air oil furnace, 3/4 horse 220 volt well pump, 30 amp - 220 volt electric hot water heater, and misc. lights, TV, and computer. I could hear them lug down a bit now and then, but it was no problem. When I know it's going to be a long outage, I stick my bigger diesel tractor on it, but otherwise I kind of like the smaller gas tractors because they're quieter. Also, a lot easier to get started in an emergency situation when the weather is real cold. My Case VAC is around 20 horse and my Cletrac HG has a 142 c.i. engine with somewhere around 25 horsepower - which should about the same as your 8N.
