Welcome Aboard, unfortunately this is beyond my expertise.

I am sure several members will have several opinions that they will share with you.

 

Pulses? Hmm. Our gaged S32-P Super runs like a champ on a Trailblazer 301g with solid wire and flux-core (self shielded). The The "32", essentially a predecessor to the newer BLUE 8/12VS suitcases, will run fine on your Bobcat 250.

Ask your buddy to define "Pulse".

 

Issues like you describe are common when guys try to run solid wire in CC ( stick) mode. The feeder simply can't change wire speeds fast enough to mimic CV at lower power settings. Run in CV mode it should run just fine with any wire. Since a Bobcat is CC/CV, as long as you have the machine set properly, it should run just fine.

I've never had any issues with my Super S 32P.

I say buy it - mine runs very nice

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Well...I didn't buy the S-32P. I bought a X-treme 12VS. We'll see what happens. Thanks to everyone who responded, your input is greatly appreciated!

 

Pretty much the same thing. The 12VS has a nicer case than the older S 32P's did, but functionally they should be pretty much the same.
