[TheForge] welder question

[John Allen]

Most people think diesel motor and they just buy it. The biggest thing
is that there is 6000 hours on the generator as well. If the generator
fails there is no sense having a diesel motor.

I have asked a thousand questions to everyone and company that has a
portsbe welder and ask their opinion on gas vs diesel and 75 percent
say unless you run the welder all day for atleast 3 days a week, the
diesel won't pay for itself since you can buy 2 new gas welders which
has 2 new generators for the same as 1 diesel and 1 generator.

I would keep searching. There are a lot of portable welders for sale
lately and more will come. Just be patient and don't settle for
something.
