[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1380436, member: 26138"] You need a lot of generator to run a welder. We have an old Craftsman 5500 watt unit. It will run a small MIG, but not at full power. We rented a much bigger 8500 watt unit, it would burn 3/32 rods with a Lincoln tombstone, but no more than that. A separate generator also doubles the footprint. Eventually we upgraded to a Lincoln Ranger 225. Best thing we ever did. The generator did quit producing power once, but it was repaired under warranty. We also have it in a small trailer, which is nice at times. I would really like to have a dedicated service truck though, especially one with air. Our trailer has no room for a compressor. [/QUOTE]
