Several years ago I bought a wire welder for general use at the farm.  I don’t remember the amp size but it is too small for several of the jobs that come up.

 I want to get a new one that will handle general welding jobs that show up on a regular basis.  I’m sure some of you have the knowledge and maybe experience to guide me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Wire feed only? What size material are you working with, and how often? 

You can pick up a great many imported 200A machine that should cover you pretty well up to 3/8 steel for $1000 or so. A name brand machine will likely give you a better duty cycle and more of an assurance that replacement parts will be available in the future, and there is a lot of stuff in a wire welder that can fail, really depends on how much you use it, and how much you want to spend.

It probably wouldn’t be used more than once or twice a month.
