- I show you how I have my welding rig setup for doing mostly tig work on pipe and job shop work. I am running a Miller PIPE / PRO 400 and a bunch of @AlumareelUSA reels. Im pretty happy withe the setup, I have about 60,000 miles on the 2019 Ford F250 powerstroke.

Good video Zack, I've been with since the cabinet shops days.. Keep up the channel it will grow..
Hard to believe that is where things started. Been a long time that's for sure
Nice outfit you there Zack I hear say tools are reasonable safe in your area man I always try to keep my welding rig in eyesight here in L.A. you need eyes in the back of your head good luck to you keep the good videos coming
That's crazy, out in the country here I don't ever worry about stuff. If I have to to go the city I've had people steel stuff off the tailgate while I'm working.
@@DarlingtonFarm IN Los Angeles it's crazy some of my friends had their rigs stolen more than once a plumber I know his was stolen 3 times my welder friend his was broken into 3 times the 4th they took the whole thing another friend a contractor his truck was stolen a week later the cops found it on blocks everything was gone including engine transmission and rear axle along with the tools
Beautiful set up
Thank you!
When I started watching your channel you had a red Ford and an SA-200 red face that's how long I've been a follower of you I think I like your new rig better and I have welded with those 302 diesels if you take care of it those Kubota diesel engines are bulletproof
You've been around a while! Yeah I really like that 302 diesel, it's loud but light weight
Nice setup. Finally something different from all the pipeline rig videos.
Thanks! 👍
Awesome rig and set up, thanks for sharing and heck ya on Tyler Childress!
Oh heck yeah, you mess with American Aquarium or the truckers? They all my jam
@@DarlingtonFarm thanks for the recommendations I’ll have to check them out! I’ve been jamming to Tyler and Cody jinks and charley Crockett for a bit but will definitely go check out the other two
Nice set up.. dont see alot of nice rigs in Indiana very often
Thanks, yeah not many of us around
Great setup
Thanks
Nice rig Brother!!!
Thanks 👍
Nice RIG.
Thanks 👍
I'm a little surprised I didn't see a couple sumner jack stands in there
I don't throw those in unless I need them. I try to leave a job box at places I work at a lot with that stuff so I don't need to haul them around.
I would love to see your skid bare. I’m about to start my build and it will be very similar to yours. I’m interested in seeing if it’s bolted down or if you’d tied it off, how the bottles are held, how the welder sits in etc…
I ran bolts to the 5th wheel hitch through the bed, you can have your welder covered really cheap on your commercial auto insurance if it's bolted to the truck
What size I beams did you use to build your lifting frame and measurements? Looking to build one myself!
I'm jealous I could never get away with that small of a truck..maybe someday I won't need the big 4900 crane cruck
Oh jeez that's a lot to pack around! I wish I would have gotten a 350 but nothing like a medium duty like that
@@DarlingtonFarm yea I miss being able to run around in my little 2500 Duramax. But the work out grew the truck. Trying to switch to plant work but there is more heavy equipment work out there around here now.
@@sparksmobilerepair4025 I bet with all the construction going on on the north side of Indy you could clean up fixing equipment. Had a run fixing equipment a few years back but didn't really like constantly being covered in grease
@@DarlingtonFarm yea it's definitely not the best being greasy and truck bed covered in oil all the time. I'm out in central California. Got my foot in the door of some food plants but it's taking a while to get rolling with them. Got some smaller jobs out of them just building that relationship now
@@sparksmobilerepair4025 food plants are where it's at, good money and easy work
Nice setup. Thanks for sharing. May I ask how much weight you're carrying?
Thanks, I'd guess about 2000-2500 lbs. I need to run it across a scale and find out.
Spare socks is great but an extra pair of underwear is even better.
Lol I did not think the internet needed to see my underwear lol
Need some help. Just purchased a 2013 Ford 350 long bed. Loaded my machine on the bed and my brakes started to grind. Does anyone know what is happening?
I got two trailblazers I’m running now . One a 301g and a 325 efi . XL power . How you like the pipe Pro . I like the 325 how quiet she runs . Compared to the 301g . Is a pipe pro quiet running unit compared to the Diesel trailblazer ?
The pipe pro is so quiet you forget it's running. If you're 15 -20 foot from the truck you can barely hear it run. Now that trailblazer diesel on the other hand is so loud at high idle it's really unpleasant working off the back of the truck. You can lock it at low idle and weld up to 120 amps or so and it's not as bad but it's still super loud.
@@DarlingtonFarmoh ok thanks for your reply back you have a wonderful day .
I’m looking at a trailblazer 302 diesel with 270 hours. Not sure what to pay. Any guidance? I was looking at a Hobart champion 225 but I like that the trailblazer has AC and I can use it for carbon arc gouging down the line.
I just got a 2011 302 diesel with 500 hours for 3k. I had to drop everything and rush there to get it before someone else. I'd definitely go with something like that over a Hobart
@@DarlingtonFarm gotcha. That’s a good deal. The guy who’s selling it wants 2x that, which is way on the top end price wise for these machines imo.
@@michaelt.9372 I'd see if they'd take less, it's a good machine but I don't think I'd pay 6 for one
@@DarlingtonFarm so he wants like 6500. I think I’m going to go with the champion elite 225. I don’t need AC on an engine drive since I have another AC machine. I’d be at like 4200ish round about with the Hobart.
@@michaelt.9372 Sounds reasonable, get the Hobart and make some money
