Thanks everybody I think the Hobart will serve me well, I did a lot of looking the past few months and wavered back and forth between this one and a 3 in one like a Tweco or Everlast. Would have gotten a tank of c25 gas today, but the LWS was closed. So I ended up doing a project I've been putting off for a while....putting a roof on my carport. Here's a couple pics. Now there's more room for cubs!!!

I bought a Hobart Handler 140 last year. My first MIG. I love it. I've used stick welders (still have my Craftsman 240A welder) and a cheap Harbor Freight flux core wire welder. The stick welder works better than the flux core, and the MIG's welds are just beautiful.

If I run it on 110 volts it's basically a Handler 140. I like the ability to run it on 110 or 220. I got an 80cf tank of c25 and I have to agree the mig welds look so much better than flux core.

Welding is like digging a hole. Unless you do it for a living, you only do it when you need to.

With that phrase welding could be like a lot of things:
Plumbing
Roofing
Tax preparation
Cleaning a toilet
Baking a cake
Cutting the grass
Washing dishes
Opening a door
Pouring a drink
Finishing concrete
Building a deck

Or are all these things like digging a hole?

I'm a pro at #9 on that list. Not so good on the rest.

That must be an excellent welder because it made your weld look pretty good!

I have had a 210 mvp for 3 yrs now. Love it. Have yet to use the 115v adapter yet. I like welding, I had to "master" so to speak an a/c buzz box because my hndlr 135 just would not penetrate hardly at all, even when chamfering. Dang thing lol. I hardly use the old buzz box, but will never get rid of it.

If you are looking for another toy, sized for a cub shop, get a Thermal Dynamics cutmaster 42 plasma torch. Slices thru 1/4" like butter and will cut 3/8" fairly descent.

Just my 3ยข

You only like it more the more you use it

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
