Well , it's too late ... this thing was homemade to fit the fixture
that mounts to the bucket mount points . That spear is not hardened
steel but I don't know what it is. It's being stuck together with the
7018 I have on hand . If I run out I'll buy more ... I started with some
6013 , beads looked like crap . The 7018 looks better , but not much .
Some days I wish I had a 300 amp MIG machine ... others I wish I had a
new Harley . Chances of either happenin' is about even . Somewhere
between zip and zero .

I hear ya' on the latter; all I've got is Dad's old (it's Marquette
which is a klew ) stick and I'm g-awful at best...I see HF has one of
their wire w/ MIG attachments on sale for pretty doggone cheap -- I've
thought last two days of driving to Garden and looking but didn't do it...

How big of bales and bales of what? With big ones here and hauling w/
flatbed semis I'm awful nervous about spear breaking just when I
wouldn't want it to do so...a lot bad can happen in a hurry that
way...just toting a small one around the lot is pretty much ok, it isn't
nothing but a nuisance most likely...

If you look around...you can get some pretty decent welders rather
cheaply.

Do you have 3ph power available anywhere you can weld?

One of the BEST mig welders Miller ever made:
