Lol there's guys and outfits that buy them at that price too! And need them, that would be super badass to have one of those :rockon: On pipeline where the welder supplies the welding rig (and they don't need all that lol) most new machines are around $20,000, and diesel with 300 amp capacity...

I wouldn't turn it down, but I'm not really a fan of the vantage, with it being a computer board and all. I busted a test once Maybe an sae, they have a beautiful arc, or even a 300D which isn't bad but it's wet and is basically an sa. A vantage or bigger miller would be good enough tho, I would...

I'm the same, it's rare enough here and usually pretty short outages when they happen that I'm just running cords. I even have a 220 extension cord made up of romax to power the well pump so we have running water, a downside of being on a well. I have a older gas miller trailblazer welding...

Yeah, people are dumb. Anymore i refuse to even go near stuff unless I've done the lock out procedures myself, seen too many things go wrong.

Maybe it's for the automatic start ones, can't remember atm. A sparky was telling me about it once years ago. If you are plugging it in that's one thing, but if it's hardwired in its a different thing because of backfeeding issues. Hardwired as in its always connected, and is started with a...

If you do a hard wire you gotta put in a huge auto disconnect switch thing in to be to code. They had too many linemen getting lit up from people running generators, so there's huge fines if you don't have that.

Happens all the time, mismarked or unmarked lines happens all the time. I've seen 4" distribution mains unmarked and then hit. All you can do is let it blow and evacuate the area. If that's power you likely have a dead operator and laborer.

Hydrovac excavating is making huge inroads, but still power in the dirt terrifies me. Just thinking of all the ripped gas lines I've seen over the years (which are dangerous enough) and how the outcomes would have been dramatically different if they were buried power. This last summer i did a...

I hate buried power, makes excavating that much more dangerous.

Does it have a drain or do you have a siphon? You can also simply drain the fuel if it's gonna sit for awhile, so you are constantly using up the fuel keeping it fresh. Which reminds me that i should be doing this rather than perfecting my carb cleaning abilities lol. Honestly tho, since my...

You aren't alone Al, i have to wrench to start wayyyyyyy too many things around here too. Seafoam (original or homemade) or stabil can help, which reminds me i should get some lol

You gotta watch those Illinois people....:/:

A buddy has one and loves it so far

Might be them changing models....i know that happens with other stuff. The new model will come out and be slightly more expensive, which clears out the old stock.

If you don't need clean power the other kind are cheaper and usually have larger outputs for dramatically cheaper prices. Think construction company using them to power tools on undeveloped sites.

Good thing its an inverter type for the clean power, just about everything has computers in it anymore

Hopefully you never need it, but hopefully you use it all the time for fun!
