[QUOTE="TRD, post: 614526, member: 11247"] The most common entry level welders for off-road are Hobard, MIller and Lincoln in the 175-180 range. Stay away from the Home Depot models, they use cheaper components (at least they used to). My home depot Lincoln 175 has cheaper rollers and possibly a cheaper liner, it doesn't always feed smoothly. If you're on a tight budget I've used a Lincoln 140 (210 V) a few times and it was plenty. If you have a bit extra budget and want a machine that'll last forever, the auto set Miller 210+ size are awesome. The size is great for everything off-road and the auto set feature is great for beginners. As you get more experienced you'll probably start using your own settings and really take advantage of it's ability to weld thicker metal. [/QUOTE]
