Hey guys, I'm in the market for a machine in the 300 amp range(flexable). At present I am only stick welding but will be looking into plasma cutters soon. I also do some flux core doodling. Most of my work is on the side for a friend building tracking carts and such. This will also be used as a generator, so engine driven is a must. I live in Louisiana and generators are getting to be a must have around here. With them going for around $2500 for 6000W I figure why not go ahead and get a portable rig? Any opinions?
