I am going with a 15KW PTO driven generator that will be powered by my Kubota L3430 tractor (35 HP at the engine around 30 at the PTO). I am so afraid of gas powered gensets with this ethanol gas we are getting now.

This is the way I've done it for 15 years. I have a 5000 watt and power the whole panel. I never shut any breakers off, I just don't use high consumption items like the oven/stove. I don't have an electric h2o heater so that helps but my shallow well pump, fridge, furnace and of course tv plus many lights works just fine. One outage I actually used my "set it and forget it" rotisserie to cook prime rib!
