Northern Hydraulics has an 8000 watt unit that uses a Honda 13 hp engine. It is also "Tri-Fuel" so it can run off of Gas, Propane, or Natural Gas.

Costs about 2 grand. Item # 165938-1601 on page 6 of the 2005 fall/winter catalog.

Pretty good deal!

8kw surge...6.6kw continuous.
Low oil shut down, circuit breakers, switches from gasoline to dry fuel without powering down. Electric start with recoil back up. 6.5 gallon tank. All the good stuff.
