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

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

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

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

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

Thanks for your honest opinion!

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

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.

Thanks for your review

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

It’s perfect to get started with. That’s kind of my plan so I can use it to build up and buy a bigger one.

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

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

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.

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

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

Thanks👍🏻

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

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

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

Yes I agree that is very aggravating. Luckily I have been fortunate to have someone within yelling range to turn the dial lol.

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

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

With this machine you would be using 1/8 ROD. 6010 ROOT pass 1/8" and then a 7018 FILL and CAP passes with 1/8". This welder CAN handle 5/32 but it would probably run a little cold and you might not get enough fusion.

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.
