Most farmers have a MIG anymore.Usually a big Miller.Yeah there are those cheap welders out there that run on 120 volts,but I welded a dozer track together with one of them a while back and it had not broke 6 months later.Also welded a floor in a street rod with the same welder and its not broke either.If you can weld and have a welder that can do the job then it can be done.Seems like the newer 120 volt welders are a lot better than the older ones.I have lots of experience using a MIG,but its not as much experience as getting enough heat to weld with the 120 volt welders.They are a little short on heat but if you go slower they seem to work.You could have a different experience and I know different welders weld differently.
MIG welders like that are real good for sheet metal.They can get hot enough to weld thicker metal but have limitations.With Multiple passes you can weld thicker stuff.I dont want to say they are out of the question,but there is better equipment.They make MIGs like those small Lincolns that dont cost a thousand dollars and weld good too.
