What power output (in kW)would you need?

Is that not implied in the 230/240v 13amp output requirement?
Approximately 3kW would seem a fair deduction. Or have I missed
something?


13 Amp might be referring to the style of plug connection.

An idea of budget might be useful. Reasonably priced is relative to your
concept of "reasonable".

Most 3kW 4 stroke generators would aggravate any back problems - more so
than the equivalent 2/4 stroke versions of the individual tools. So not
lightweight.

Honda are good but expensive.

Generally not much useful information as a decent Rotavator is petrol
driven and massive (it needs to be to grind through the soil).

A "Rotovator" which is not much bigger than a strimmer doesn't require
much power but doesn't do much either.

If the OP already has the tools listed, an idea of their power requirement
would be useful.

Cheers
