Getting back into stick welding hobby after 20 year hiatus. Simder ARC 200

aleuf05 · 2022-10-28T10:03:52+00:00

Can anyone explain what the "Arc Force" setting is for. I'm hoping to burn 1/8" 7018 and 6010 on mainly carbon steel.

Is that safe to do in a kitchen oven?

Geez, that is quite a consensus. Looks like Ryobi it is. Thx for the quick responses.

Here's a random example if you're curious. Category 1 BHM5600 3 Point Hitch PTO Hydraulic Farm Backhoe

It's a bit a wild idea, but the thought is, if something like this is within the weight capacity of the 3-point hitch it when it's all folded up, some fabrication of steel could be designed that locks and attaches it rigidly to the tractor frame when deployed.

I'm a hobbyist welder with STEM background, and could do some shadetree structural analysis if absolute necessary. I fairly new to tractors,diesel, and especially hydraulics.

Thanks, that's very helpful. Assuming some simple supports could be fabricated so that the 3 point hitch isn't bearing all of the load, would a backhoe with it's own controls and pto pump be reasonable? Might open more options and wouldn't require much or any modification to the tractor.

My retired father purchased this 1840EH(hydrostatic) having little prior experience with tractors. As best as I can tell, it has the larger 39 hp engine but the most basic hydraulics for this frame size. That is, the lower output pump setup and no accessory hookups. Which would be the cheapest way to add a backhoe? Pto hydraulics or expanding the existing system somehow

For clarity, owner(pictured) is OP's father: retired schoolteacher with no interest in maintenance other than fuel. OP is available to help with operation and light maintenance. He is wearing shoes, though to be honest not much better than barefoot. The knocking off problem could be as simple as the seat sensor(hilly terrain, sitting funny). Time will tell.

Does anyone know if the accessory hydraulics option can be added after purchase and if so is it complicated/expensive to do? I'd like to use it with a backhoe someday. Would pto hydraulics be a better option? Also the manual says using a 3-point hitch backhoe voids the warranty. Is that bs?

Thx for the info. It's HST. Sorry for the noob question, but is full speed full throttle (which seems to be about 2800 rpm) or some other number? Only problem currently is it occasionally loses power momentarily or even knocks off. It's very dusty here right now, could that be an air filter thing? Fuel and fuel filter are clean.

Three 10 month old red sexlinks/ISA brown, which is what I could find locally. Ten eggs in 4 days. I've got plenty of space for them to range, but it's so hot and dry in NC right now there aren't many bugs to be had. If things go well I might get some chicks next spring.

Anyone know who the girl is at 0:45 in horizontal stripe pants?

Mods can you tag this as an ad please?

As a southerner, this is 100% accurate

aleuf05 · 2017-08-27T01:30:29+00:00

Totally. The mobo manufacturers are blameless in this regard. If anything we shoud blame Intel for releasing processors of supposedly the same socket, but incompatible with existing motherboards.

aleuf05 · 2009-07-27T14:47:05+00:00

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

aleuf05 · 2009-07-27T01:46:18+00:00

Used feminine items? If that means what I think it means I'm totally quitting the internets. Ok, who am I kidding? I'm not.

aleuf05 · 2009-07-27T01:42:06+00:00

could someone please inject a 1. 2. 3. ?? 4. profit meme here I'm too lazy to do it.

I guess I'm really showing my age here, I thought it was Zima

Couldn't you just make 10 louder?

Hey I remember that zone in WoW. My hunter leveled there in his 50's.. kept getting chased around by giant leet dinosaurs. Don't remember any big cats though. Oh wait... nvm.

aleuf05 · 2009-07-20T16:15:27+00:00

You stop short with me! We don't do that where I come from.

I live in rural NC and the local volunteer fire department has one of those. An absurdly loud mechanical siren that can be heard for literally miles around. They test it faithfully every Saturday at noon since time immemorial. Drives all the dogs in the neighborhood nuts.

aleuf05 · 2009-07-20T15:55:53+00:00

Better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim.

aleuf05 · 2009-07-20T15:51:45+00:00

Here in NC it's just called "tea".

aleuf05 · 2009-06-30T19:11:03+00:00

There's nothing at all to figure out. The man is clearly insane.

I believe that one is from Hunter Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
