what feeder to run with my Trailblazer 250G

Looking to buy a feeder to run some 0.45 flux on a repair job. I used to run a spoolgun and it did alright but sold it and need something that can lay some wire down. Is my machine big enough to run .45 flux and if so what feeder to get? Its a 95 model Trailblazer 250G with a 20 horse onan. I have been looking at the SP32 miller or the 12VS Suitcase. But wouldn't be afraid of running an LN-25. Any help would be great , Thanks.

More than enough. I used to run .045FC and 1/16 FC with a Bobcat 225G. You are definitely good.

Truthfully, you can run just about any Miller feeder off it you wanted to, providing you have the correct connection.

Not the most practical, but I have seen people run 50, 60 series, even 30 series feeders off engine drives. A suitcase style is the best for portability, but if an inexpensive shop feeder was available, it could be used no problem. The 14 pin puts out both 115 & 24 volts AC.

Just something to keep in mind if one was available for cheap.

Best to keep the leads under 75' on remotely controlled feeders. Voltage sensing units can go quite a ways farther out tho.
