I would go with either an auction engine drive, and an electric air compessor strapped on top, or a used generator with air compressor and a nice inverter. I could put the whole rig together, that would work better, for under a grand...

agreed. it's a compromise unit. way overpriced. you could have a better genny, welder and air comp.. seperate for WAY less money. or even if you went to a combined welder genny.. like a hobart 10k unit.. and then tossed in an air compressor.. etc.. and saved a grand+

My 10 cfm 220v compressor was about $500, add in a $1k used engine drive (ranger, bobcat, trailblazer, ect) and you could be in bussines for under 2 grand..... And I would rather have that rig..... LOL

I'd like to know where you find good used Rangers, Bobcats and Trailblazers for $1000? When I was looking a few years ago, all the used ones were only about $500 less than a new one. I ended up finding a 1961 SA200 Redface for $500 and spent another $800 on a new carb. and rebuilt mag. Bought some used 2/0 cable from Red-D-Arc for $2/ft as well as a stinger/whip and ground clamp. A little over $1500 for everything. I could double my money but I needed a welder. A welder/generator would have been nicer but I have a smaller generator than runs all my power tools. I think the cheapest I found in a newer combo was around $3000.

I have seen a few around here. I guess because they are in lower demand here, prices are lower. They also were slightly older units... LOL
I have seen the old airco wasp units for under $500... That would be a nice farm welder.
