I am looking at selling a couple of welders I have and buying a diesel engine welder for a new unit. The why is that I use these welders in two main ways. I weld, and I use them as home generators in case of emergencies.
My question for you is what are your opinions of the kubota, mitsubishi, and perkins engines found in the Lincoln Vantage or Frontier and the Miller Big Blue? I have experience with an earlier Perkins in an SAE Lincoln. I liked it. But that motor is from 2010 and not the EPA tier 4 that is sold now.
The low rpm and long run time are what I am searching for. I'll test the weld quality in time before buying. Any experiences or comments are appreciated. Any mechanical problems noticed by use in the field? Thanks.
