Noticed that Lincoln has a new Ranger out. Its lighter and has a few more amps than the 305G, and is supposed to be quieter to. It also features a digital user interface for changing the settings. What do you guys/gals think?SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
Reply:It looks like a nice machine. More refinement is always good. Smaller, lighter, more powerful and quieter.Now, it just needs EFI.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720
Reply:I'd be afraid to buy one for a couple of years until all of the bugs get worked out. That's probably the future direction of all engine drives however.Lincoln Ranger 305gMiller X-Treme 8VS Suitcase FeederLincoln Powermig 210 MPLincoln AC225 TombstoneAmico MMA-160Titanium Easy Flux 125A pile of grinders.
Reply:They are squeezing a few more amps out it, so we'll see how everything turns out. It is a pretty neat looking machine.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st

Reply:That's a great deal ! Where did you purchase your machine ?
Reply:It is a nice looking machine. Brought one by for a demonstration a couple of weeks ago. Pretty quiet also. I am not to keen on all of the electronics, just seems like more to go wrong. Getting more power out of a lighter means that the durability may not be there as something has to have been lightened up along the way. Didn't buy one time will tell how they hold up.

Reply:My 330 mpx is bogging down after 130 amps. I changed the air filter fuel filter spark plugs and put in a new carb. Still having same issues
Reply:If you are going to make a living with one of those they are not the machine to own. Total scrap as far as I am concerned.
