I thought I wrote on this earlier, must have not posted it but that is a beauty. Yes, the Hobart is the same in that model. My own is red but the same class and I burned a whole handful of 1/8 lo hy at a time more than once doing something like a trailer weld out as fast as I can chuck them in the stinger. Couple times over the years I stop in hot weather but when it's cooler really blaze away. Only reason for a heavier machine would be bigger electrodes if a guy was a contractor.
