Hey everyone!!
Hope everyone survived the black friday crowds, lol.
This is a little test that I put together here recently, I'd known since I first "really" started welding that different brands of electrodes were no doubt different... Ive seen more difference in 6013 electrodes from different brands than I've seen difference from running 6013 to 7014 before, for example.
I thought it'd be cool to mess around with, so I bought a box of Lincoln 6011 and another unopened box of Hobart 6011 and did a little redneck testing.
I honestly thought they'd be more similar, there was a HUGE difference when running them side-by-side. The Lincoln didnt run nearly as smoothly as the Hobart, but the Hobart produced more "fluid" slag over the puddle, and MUCH more of it. Some things were close, like the ease of removing slag from the finished weld, and some things were different, like the strength. There was a much bigger difference there that I ever thought there would be. I'd always assumed "6011 is 6011... It might run a little differently, but it should be just as strong as any other 6011".
Little did I know. lol.
Anyway, the video shows more. If y'all like watching this, I'll do it again with some 7014 or 6013 or 7018 or whatever...
Enjoy the video, and happy welding everyone :)

As a novice though I didn't appreciate the fact that there were so many Fordson tractors made, that all the other makes seem rare by comparison. As far as I was aware a fordson was a fordson and it was only through trial an
