Romy, as you know by now, most small generators are toys, really not suitable for our purposes. I have no idea where or how you found the perfect old small generator, but starting with what you have, if you can get all the wiring right, you just might realize The Dream of Perfect Electricity. I assume the motor is rated for continuous duty. 6 hp is about tapped out for 6.5kW.
Appropriate wiring for this thing will be rather involved, more than most could easily do with extension cords.
Likewise, it will want at least a concrete pad ready when it gets to your property.
How you move the thing depends on where you pick it off the truck and what type of terrain you need to tarverse with it to put it in its resting place. If it's all paved and level, then just about any fork lift or tractor would do. If you have to cross any rough ground with the equipment, then rent the sort of big-tired, articulated fork lift we use on rough construction sites, along with a web or cable sling.
Best regards,
