OUTBACK 185 ENGINE DRIVE WELDER (KOHLER)

The Lincoln Electric Outback 185 is an engine-driven welder/generator built for welding where shop power is not available. It combines DC stick (SMAW) welding output with AC generator power in one portable unit, for service trucks, fence contractors, maintenance crews, farmers and ranchers. It welds with stick electrodes up to 5/32 in. (4 mm), and the generator output can also run grinders, work lights and pumps on site, or power equipment such as a POWER MIG 140C or 180C wire welder and a Tomahawk 375 Air plasma cutter.
