I'm looking for a lightweight portable welder that I can handle myself. Anybody have any thoughts on this: Burco MPM 165 welder generator produces 150 amps of welding .Lightweight (72 lbs.)60% duty cycle / 150 Amp.Honda (GsX-200).....7.2 HP
L x W x H.....18" x 14-1/2" x 16-1/2"
Weight......72 lbs. (dry)
There are a lot of different products out there. Two questions can help. 1. How much do you want to spend. 2. What is your application? What type of welding do you need to do?
Whith those two questions, I'm sure someone on here will come up with a set-up for you.

Those little Burco's ROCK!!!
I could never figure out why they didnt catch on in the US. Where did you find it?
The one I used to have you couldn't use the aux power cause it was 210 European electric. It wouldn't run the tools.
If you get one just watch out for the duty cycle.
If you can plug in where you are working look into the little miller inverter welders. They work great on 110 power. If that isn't enough juice plug into 220 and the machine switches over itself. I use them for all kinds of jobs as long as the site has electric.
