[AT] Welders

Mike: It's hard to beat a stick welder for that type of repair. Some of your repairs will be outside the door i'm sure. With a Mig (or Tig) you have to be mindfull of the breeze as both use shielding gas. Mig also like clean metal much better than used rusty stuff. I have both . If it's a used equipment repair I always reach for the stick welder. As for brand it's hard to beat a Lincoln .

Hi all,
I'm in the market for a welder and would be interested in getting opinions as to what type to get. It would get used for machinery repair (tractor, brush hog etc). I was looking at some of the MIG welders at TSC the other day, and they looked nice, but were pricey if they are able to weld thicker steel. I've never used a MIG welder, but have used an arc welder in the past. An arc welder seems like a simpler choice, but I would be interested in other opinions.
Thanks,
Mike M
