[AT] Wire welder question

[bwhdon]

I was wondering if any body has experiance with Hobart wire welder,  I have
used Miller 250 most of my work time and was looking at getting a wire
welder for the garage. I see Hobart in the norther catalog has a Ironman 210
at a pretty good price, also the handler 140.  I checked with the local
miller dealer on the 175 mig that goes either 120 or 230 and they want
$1000.00 for it and there Millermatic 210 is around $1250.00.

I know the miller machines and thats the only dealer in this town and Hobart
dealer is 120 miles away, So what I kinda need to know is if any of you have
a Hobart and how there warranty is etc.

Also do any of you have experiance with the the 120 volt Miller and Hobart
welders like the 140 handler or miller 135 , 175 using flux wire.

I like the thought of 120 volt for ease of finding a plug in for it away
from the shop.

any thoughts out there?

Thanks

Don
