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
Whatever the category, check the live band in our price index before shopping — and remember the helmet, gloves and ventilation are part of the purchase, not extras.
