Hobart champion 145 review 

I understood every word you said. You covered my questions very well. Good job!

I just ordered this Welder. Thanks for your input it helped me make the decision.

Solid real world review. Looking to pick one up very soon for the side jobs.

Like the fact that a man is able to make a video with out dropping the F bomb every other word. God bless

Seriously looking to buy one buddy,thanks for the video!

I'm really glad I found this review. I was seriously considering buying this machine until the part where you talked about having to change settings to use the generator part. I see being 50 or 60 feet away from the truck, welding then needing to grind something and have to walk back to the truck to change a setting and back again to change it back. Thanks for the review.

Awsome i was looking in at one just now ima go ahead and get it

Thanks for your honest opinion!

Thanks for your review

I never have the chance to own one of those. But I do own a little hobart 140 ... and men!! It's a very good machine ! Get the job done , but my dad used hobart since we used to lived in mexico... it is an awesome brand

Glad you put this video up I honestly go for the opinion of a good ol boy than some “pro” on an ad or whatever i think im gonna get one these

My great grandfather worked for Hobart i got to tinker with quite a few older Hobart machines

I’m glad your having good luck with yours. I bought one 3 months ago and it had the worst arc quality I have ever ran into on a engine drive welder. Didn’t matter what rod I used. Sold that thing after using it three times. Running an ESAB rouge180I off a 9000 watt generator now. A world of difference in arc quality, runs smooth as butter.

Thanks man I’m starting up on a budget I’m looking at one these

Thank you :)

I have the old ac version of this welder very dependable. Will not burn 6010s. It has not failed me yet just run ethanol free gas and change oil and plugs. Starting to Peter out though gonna replaced it with dc version

that machine is the best,out the box ,pull running , tried with 70/18 rod .I even had lower the to 110 because it was to strong to weld 1/8 angles.bought it in cyberweld for $2300 without the cables

Thanks👍🏻

The most annoying part I found with my old 145 was having to turn the dial up to use a grinder. Which will really make you cuss when you’re on top of something like a round baler and have to get off to reset the breaker

When welding does the power go down or does the motor get reved up?

Ya I have to use a flashlight to see the fuel level

So you do recommend one for side jobs and things? I’m trying to start doing a few and I want to run 7018 1/8 and my other small welder can’t run it.

Does the stinger go on the positive? Or would the ground go on the positive

When I am welding with my Machine it stop welding like you pick your rod up do you no what can be Causing that problem

I have the same welder, have you ever tig or run an aluminum spool gun with it?

Hello , do you know what carburetor I need for this?

How thick of a pipe do you think it can weld?

Have you tried to use a 140 mig welder on it

How many days did you 🏃 it to break it in?

did you have to make your own leads?

Will this run dc rods I’ve noticed some say AC. I run 6011 and 7018 most of the time

what cable number do you use

Hello can I run a 161 miller off a Hobart 145 thank you

What grade fuel do you use
