hobart welders

good bad ugly?

Don't know yet, but I am thinking about a wire feed. Still shopping.

I sure love my Wirefeed Hobart, 9yrs now

Got one about a month or two got the 140 with gas bought a gas tank for it got about 700.00 but it's a good outfit the same size in a Miller is about 1400.00 unless you got a shop it will serve you well.

I have a 190 mig. very happy with it thus far. I run gas on it.

looking at the 140 with gas.
wont be welding heavy duty stuff, trap mod's and keeping mowers and home stuff fixed.

You should be very happy with that. I know lots of guys use them. Sick with .030 wire on that welder and you should have no troubles.

Made in America if that matters to you

Hava gas mig now for 9 yrs. Got the big wire roll, no trouble, love it.

I have the Hobart 140 (6 years). Has been a great machine for me.

These Hobart machines run on 120 volts?

And, IIRC, made thru Miller so parts should be fairly easy to come by if needed.

Si Senior.

Done some serious welding on my sons derby cars when he was into that. It does about anything I want it to do. Still got the old stick buzz box for the heavier stuff when needed.

Have a look at the Everlast welders as well. Not to pricey, 5 year warranty. I just got an AC /DC pulse tig welder from them and I have to say, it is well put together and thought out.

Hobart is an excellent name, with great support, You can't go wrong.

Probably won't go wrong with any of the big names. I have ran about all of them (mostly Hobart, Lincoln and Miller), for nearly 30 years. If I were to buy any more welders, Miller would be my choice,hands down.

I now have a Hobart 210 MVP that I get along very well with, it can run off of 115 or 230 volts. I consider myself a shade tree welder at best and this is the best I could afford when I needed a replacement welder.

The Hobart are similar to the Miller I believe. Might have a plastic drive gear for the wire instead of Metal like the Miller, but you can always replace down the road.
My buddy has a little 190 mig. Great welder for him for a couple years now around the barn projects.

thanks yall now to study on if i want to owe on one lol

We had portable Hobart arc welders on our drilling rigs, 33 years ago, they did good

I have 2 of them and have welded up several hundred thousands of Daggers with them. with no problems. great welder for the price.

What is a dagger?

Coon Dagger is a dog proof trap, I would guess!

Ok thanks, not very familiar with coon trapping
