I've never ran a CH welder, but I know their large air compressors are good.
But I do have a Hobart Handler 125EZ that I really like. It takes the guesswork out of setting it up. You just set it to the thickness of metal you are going to weld. It's so easy to use that just about anyone can pick it up and use it with just a few minutes practice. After knowing the basics, of course.
After I told my son how to use it, he made a small project after practicing on some scrap metal a little while.
You don't have the infinite adjustment on the 125EZ as you have on the 125, but it automatically sets the wire speed accordingly to the amps/thickness you set it on.
The downside is that the EZ is flux core only, and you can't weld really thin stuff with it.
Bill in IL is absolutely correct in that.
I had a file cabinet that the door had been hit and had a very thin bracket broken on the inside. On the lowest setting, it still wanted to burn through it. I managed to "bird dob" it back together, but it was fairly hidden anyway.
But all in all, i'm very pleased with it. It came with a 5 year warranty that I never had to use and will weld most everything that breaks around here. I haven't needed to use my Miller Thunderbolt in quite a while.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
