RAB is correct in his reply, however, ill add a little more to it. i run a fab shop and portable welding service. with "one-aut"(1-0) cable you should be able to reach any job. ive connected as much as 250 feet without any considerable power loss. if your welding with one-eighth rods youll be fine. i purchace welding lead in 50 or 100 feet sections and use quick-connects to add on as needed. this also makes it easy to move cable to another welder without having to drag all the cable around. as far as the weight issue, he's right there to, however most iron workers and field welders(myself included) use an electrode whip thats about 10-12 feet long.this section of cable can be a couple of sizes smaller to cut down on weigh. put a quick connect on the end and it will slip on any cable you have. make sure the end of all cable toward the work is the female end so if the welder is running while youre adding more cable, it wont ground out.
