i have to laugh a little...the original question was which mig welder...thats kinda like asking, blonde, brunette, or redhead...or Deere vs anything else....or ford, gm, or dodge. I am no expert, but ive welded with miller, lincoln, hobart, & esab's.
Currently i have an older hobart handler 180/185 (?) which has done a LOT of work and been very trouble free, very straight forward in the settings and it has a tweeco gun with all off the shelf consumables.
In my area esab parts are getting very hard to find and i am close to a Praxair, i have been needing a larger MIG and i think i may just spring for the welder Praxair is building. Its been out for a few years now and doesnt seem to show any signs of folding. Guys at praxair are making it very difficult not to give it a go and its coming in a couple hundred bucks cheaper than their counter parts.
Price a new one of whatever model you think you would like then spend a month watching craigs or local auctions...to me it always seemed like a higher resale value a better machine....
All just observations, let us know what you get, i would be interested in hearing what you got and how you like it.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
