So I have narrowed down my search for a welder to two.
Hobart Stickmate LX 235 AC/160 DC or a Lincoln AC/DC 225/125.
The Hobart can be had for about $470 new and the Lincoln for about $100 more.
My neighbor has the Hobart and he uses it for most things but also has a gas powered Miller for heavier jobs.
So if it were down to those two choices, which would you pick for welding on an old tractor for a relative newbie with no formal training?
