Generator Recommendation for Welding and for Charging 4 Pylontechs via Multiplus 48/5000/70

Please recommend what specs or other relevant info to look for. I live in a remote part of Peru, South America, so I might not have the same products available as in your country I'm building a house pretty far from civilization, and need the generator to weld some steel beams and operate saws, etc. for carpentry and masonry.

Also, I'd like to keep the generator later to charge four Pylontech US3000 48v batteries wired in Parallel, connected to a Victron Mulitplus 48/5000/70 as part of my solar kit.

Sizing for your welding is more a personal decision as you know what size and type of welder you have.

Saying that we weld on our 5 kva no problem using an IGBT inverter stick welder a 200A INGCO.
