Because of the extended periods of idling that buckets do whether because they are run on a pump off the main motor or the lights running or any other reason I would highly discourage any gas motors because of the heat the build and how that leads to motor issue, wiring issues and ruined batteries. The extra cost will save you money down the road big time! Everyone has a budget to stick with so use what money you have to spend in the best places to make you money.
