I have a 250 amp transmig by cigweld and use co2,i have welded several truck trays and sides,with co2 the welding proccess could be described as being more dirty more spatter etc but its much cheaper than argon/mix, sounds like in the uk you dont pay bottle rental on pub gas?we have to over here. in a previous life i have used stick welders up to 400 amps and if you are just a casual user, mig is far easier than stick especially if your welding thin stock

homeowner Insurance is a con,over here and i imagine the same over in the uk if your tree falls and squashes the fence and your nieghbours car,your insurance company pays to the fence only. anything on the other side is your nieghbours problem. all designed to make everyone have insurance on their homes

i have a similar but hydraulic arrangement on my nifty lift,while it is faster if we have to go any distance we will either push by hand or use the loader to push it and just use the drive for the final maneuve,good for hook ups though -
