I don't know anything about generac, but my last welding machine was a lincoln ranger 225 GXT with a 23 horse kohler, with a peak generator output of 11, 000 watts. My curent welder is older. It's a hobart champion with a 16 horse onan with a max output of 8000 watts. The hobart out performs the lincoln in EVERY way. I was really supprised. After seeing how much the kohler struggled, I don't think I could own another kohler powered welder/ generator

The only two things I have owned with a kohler engine in them have been ok at best. The first one was in a yard man tractor 20+ hp and after the first season a connecting rod snapped. after it was repaired it was near impossible to start
