Paralleling two different size generators

I have a predator 3500 and a predator 2000.

Can I parallel these and if so what parallel kit can I use?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I understand that is the case with that particular kit. But is it with all?

In theory it may be possible, but in practicality it is almost always a very bad idea.

I would say no, they can’t balance the load between the two being different sizes. Call HF and see what they say?

What do you hope to gain by doing that ?

3600 watts is 30 amps and thats all the power your supposed to draw from a 30 amp outlet.
