You ask "will a 4500 watt 220 volt generator be enough to power a Lincoln 225 amp buzz box, it would only be needed to weld 1/4 inch mostly ,maybe 5/16 at the very most "

Provided the genset has adequate overcurrent and thermal protection, I wouldn't hesitate to try welding at low amperage and that way you will get your answer.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
