Do you think a 60 amp rectifier would be enough for a 12' machine?

oregon wind,

Depends on several things.
12 foot generates 2.5kw at 23MPH wind. (furled assumed)
Lots of power, current depends on battery voltage.
2500w / 56vbat = 44amps, 60amps would be a little shy of what I would use.
Lower voltage batteries, the amps go up quickly.
12v battery 178amps!!

Have fun,
Scott.
