Buying welders
What welder do I need for farm machinery?
Quick answer
For farm machinery: stick 200 A+ or multi-process. That's driven by thick, dirty, outdoor, urgent — the stick strength zone.
Why this machine
Thick, dirty, outdoor, urgent — the stick strength zone. Match the process to the material, thickness and conditions before you look at brands or prices.
Budget expectation
