Anyone know of a 300 amp MIG that competes with the Kemppi Fitweld EVO 300?

admin

I'm looking for a very portable MIG welder to be run off of a generator for remote repair of earthmoving equipment with dual shield, WPS spec is dual shield only (specifically Kobelco DW-50 wire with C25 gas) so that is a non negotiable, and I'm wanting to do this in a way where everything fit's in a small twin cab ute, I'm in Australia where ford F150/250 350, dodge rams, chevy whatevers are not readily available for under 100k new and no second-hand market for older models so a bigger vehicle is out of the question, my pickup is a 5 seat/twin cab D40 Nissan Navara, and I'm not a fan of a trailer setup with an engine drive, one because engine drive are very expensive, and trailers are inconvenient to tow through mine sites.The best option I've been able to find for lightweight, high amperage MIG machine is the Kemppi Fitweld EVO 300, 33LB, takes 11LB spools only (not a huge issue, I can get the wire specced in 11lb spools) 30% duty cycle at 300 amps.

Does anyone know of anything else that is in the same ballpark as this machine for weight, output and duty cycle?Currant machine is a lincoln powercraft 250C which isn't cutting it, its  15 lb heavier than the kemppi, single phase which is a power delivery problem as here in Aus 32amp 240 volt is the single phase limit, anything more than that has to be 415volt 3 phase so getting a generator to run the lincoln at its max output isn't possible here.Last edited by ttoks; 2 Hours Ago at 12:58 AM.
