Hello everybody ! I have been posting quite frequently during the last couple of days ! I apologise for that and the continuous questions ! This time i would like to know about the specs of the MIG welder required to properly weld a 1984 Land Rover 110 chassis. By having done some research i have concluded that it should be in the 150 Amps and up scale. As far as duty cycle is concerned, i have not yet reached a conclusion ! Let me know !
Thank you !
 
Sealey supermig 150 is the one I just purchased -

Have a look at " MIG welding forum UK " Lots of good info about welding and a section on what welder that would suit your needs.
Kev beat me to it.
 
the longer the duty cycle the longer you can weld without stopping at a given power

for example 200amps at 30% duty cycle means you can weld for 3 minutes out of every 10 minutes, and the welder needs to be resting for the 7 minute difference, when welding at 200a
It does vary depending on power level though

I was considering the Miller Migmatic 175. https://www.fosterindustrial.co.uk/miller-migmatic-175-mig-welder
Would it be suitable ?

I bought this as my first mig last year...super easy to use...set metal thickness and weld type and off you go...technoweld synergic 180...
 
I have a Seeley 150 Amp MIG that I have owned for 20+ years.
150 Amps is more than enough for Land Rover chassis work.
You haven't mentioned gas-less MIGs, but if they do cross your mind, check out the price of the gas-less welding wire first, it is horrendous.

Thank you ! I have not considered gas-less MIGs at all to be honest !
