When I went to get my Kioti LK3054 with loader, Midwest box blade, 56" tiller, and a 6' finish mower 760 miles with a 93 Chevy 1/2 ton with a 5 speed manual transmission and 350 motor. I used a 16' 7000# trailer. Needless to say it was at maximum and beyond. I took it real easy and did not push the truck. I would say one thing is get a premium brake controller. Mine has a digital display indicating its setting. Very nice. Stopping the whole mess was my biggest concern.

Anybody have any experience with one of these 3 point chinese made BH's? I'm looking for a inexpensive backhoe and have seen these on a few sites. I was thinking I would fabricate a sub frame for one being that they are 3-point. They seem to be going for somewhere around the $3000 mark if ordered. I've been researching on building my own from CDP or Cadplans. In parts alone I'm estimating somewhere between $2250 and $2850 depending on the model and features.<br>
thx<br>

I have a Millermatic 135.

I've used the crud out of it. One thing about the 110v units, they rate out at about 20amps on the input. So a typical home outlet most of the times seems to be about 15amps in newer homes. I have a dedicated lines to my garage. 110 and 220. When I first got the welder I did not have those and would throw the breaker if I cranked it up. Looking back, I would have started out with the 175 since it's not that much more and now that I have 220v to the garage. My brother has an older Hobart 110v unit. It dont have much power. But I think there is something wrong with it. Also the Miller has infinite voltage control as the Hobart does not. Sometimes I wonder if the infinite voltage control is not that big of a deal since I'm using it at 10 most of the time. I turn it down for thin. I've welded alot of thin tubing with it. Works beatiful.

Whats good about 110's is their portability. Take it anywhere to weld light stuff.

It welds really good (depending on the hand holding the gun). I've made several projects. I have welded some very thick stuff (1/4 to 3/8). You can do it and have a decent weld but it is very slow for thick. While I'm not welding expert I did ask a couple of fab guys about MIG welding. One suggested using .023" because he felt you could apply more heat with the thin wire. He also mentioned he felt that flux wire (without gas) makes a hotter weld also but is not as pretty.

I also bought a Miller Cutmate 375 to accent the blue color in my garage with more blue color. All I can say about the plasma cutter is that once you have one it's like a dream come true for metal working.

Perhaps someday when I can convice my wife I would like get a Millermatic 251. It will go up to 300 amps. But I will probably get a good stick welder.

thanks
