Is anyone else out there amazed at how wimpy the spoked drivers look on these massive tractors? I know they work but compared to the rest of the machine they look like they would just bend out of shape. Great video as always.

Those fumigation crawlers seem to be a amazing misch-mash of everyone and their dog brother fabricating, abusive operation and half-hearted maintenance. Issac @ IC Weld often times uses a needle scaler to remove slag on large welding runs, not only to speed removal but on the theory that the peening helps stress relieve. Issac is a wizard with a cutting torch, uses air arc or plasma to move metal better than most people, seems very honest and forthright and definitely knows His arse from a hole in the ground. There is another creator i watch that is honest and forthright that knows His arse from a hole in the ground. Warren Rodgers, Best Wishes to Him and His Family.

Tired and worn out 60 yr old mobile plant fitter here from the UK. I`ve always said that only a certain type of mechanic can do mobile work, regardless of whether he`s any good or not. Majority of mechanics like their home comforts of warm workshops and able to pick parts off the shelf in the stores... But you Sir are one of the few who can handle the hassle of working on site.

For MY ENTIRE LIFE… I called it Air Arc. Just happened to be on the market for a new Air Arc setup because my old one(from my dad) was over 30 years old and could do with an upgrade. I learned today that it’s actually Arc Air. I think this is one of those tricks like like bearenstien bears being remembered differently than people see it today. It’s a trick! Lol. We always called it Air Arc. I was surprised to learn it’s actually Arc Air. 😂

Really Appreciate the Videos, Warren. I have welded since I was a kid and I have not used Arc Gouging yet, I’m going to see what I need to get started. I’m not a welder by trade, but I can hold my own on everything except pipe, unless I can spin it. I like your welder, how it doesn’t have to run wide open all the time. That looks like a fun but tough job. Thanks Again, Have a Good Weekend.

Ive welded for years(I’m not a welder). Awhile back I started measuring what I was welding(thickness/gauge) with a micrometer. Then I’d lift the hood on my welder and reference the chart 📈 the factory provides. It’s AMAZING how much easier and clean welding can be when you have the proper heat and feed speed. Fifteen years I’ve been eye balling this crap and it shows👍🤪 Great video
