I haven't arc welded in 30+ years but I bought a tractor last year and everyone knows you have to have a welder also. . I had narrowed my search to the PA200 but got a great deal on the PA300, so I'm looking for a little help in getting back in to the "sport". I plan on practicing a lot before I weld anything meaningful. What would be a good starting point for the settings on the Hot Start & Arc Force Control? I really enjoyed welding long ago and am excited to give it a go again. Gonna burn some 6011 & 7018 this weekend, should the work clamp be hooked to the middle port (E6010) when I use E6011 or any 60xx series rods? Also I bought 3/32" & 1/8" of each rod (6011 & 7018). Thanks for all the great info from all the great welders I read about here at TBN. :thumbsup:
