Welding Machine Buying Guide: Everything You Need to Know 

Thank you, I like what you said, "it depends on what you want to do when you get home"

If you can find a good old SA-200 Lincoln at a good price buy it. I started out with one use it for 30 years made a lot of money with it. I overhauled it twice and I still own it.

If you can afford it by a new or almost new diesel, they will run easily 10,000 hours before needing to be overhauled and the fuel economy will pay off.

western welding academy: where you are undervalued

Whatever type of welding machine you purchase for field use, I recommend diesel, not gasoline. It's ideal to have a diesel welding machine with a diesel truck. Extremely low maintenance compared with gasoline powered.

Seemed more like youre a lincoln guy i respect it, what are your thoughts on like smaller welder/generators like the miller bobcat 225, trailblazer or the bobcat 250 ive got a 225nt itll weld pipe and structural settings, have you had any experience with those machines or know of people with good or bad experiences

My 1st welder miller bobcat 225nt propane fueled. No issues, but as u know propane don't like cold weather. But oh well.

If I have a Lincoln SP170t what size generator should I get ?

You think a miller 220 is a good enough start to mobile weld /shop weld

Would I be fine using a Lincoln ranger 225 on a pipeline?

You. Can not get a sa200 for 1500 unless it doesn’t weld

Miller is for drinking, Lincoln is for welding….

The micro zooms get annoying

Ford sucks
