When you're on a job, you're focused on the weld. But what's powering that weld? The engine inside your welder is the key to your uptime, the quality of your work and your bottom line. This article breaks down the three critical ways your engine makes a difference.

You'll learn how a consistent engine speed is the foundation for a clean, consistent weld, preventing the power droop that leads to costly rework. You'll see how intelligent design choices directly contribute to your bottom line through easier serviceability, improved fuel economy and a lighter, more compact size that even increases your truck's payload. And finally, you'll understand why a durably built engine, backed by a strong parts and service network, is the best way to protect your investment and keep you running.
