K4166-1 - Lincoln Cross Country 300 Kubota Diesel Engine Welder Generator K4166-1

Industrial-Grade Pipeline Welding Solution

The Lincoln Electric Cross Country 300 (K4166-1) is a purpose-built engine-driven welder designed to meet the rigorous demands of the cross-country pipeline industry. At its core lies a robust Kubota V1505 four-cylinder, water-cooled diesel engine. This 22-horsepower power plant is EPA Tier 4 Final compliant, ensuring it meets modern emissions standards while delivering reliable torque and longevity. The engine is mated to a high-efficiency generator capable of producing substantial auxiliary power, a critical feature for remote job sites where grid power is unavailable. Specifically, the unit delivers 11,000 watts of continuous three-phase power and 10,000 watts of continuous single-phase power, allowing operators to run heavy-duty grinders, pumps, and travel trailers simultaneously with welding operations.

Precision Arc Control and Multi-Process Capability

Technically, the Cross Country 300 is engineered for versatility and precision. It supports multiple welding processes including Stick (SMAW), TIG (GTAW), MIG (GMAW), Flux-Cored (FCAW), and Gouging (CAC-A). The machine features dual continuous controls, a design choice that simplifies the user interface while providing granular control over the arc characteristics. This allows for fine-tuning based on pipe diameter, pass type, and environmental conditions. The welding output is rated at 300 Amps at 32 Volts with a 100% duty cycle, ensuring continuous operation without thermal shutdown during intensive welding sessions. The unit also features a broad output range, from 40 to 300 Amps for Stick welding and 20 to 250 Amps for TIG applications.

Compact Engineering and Durability

Physical integration into service vehicles is a key design parameter for this model. With dimensions of 31.9 inches in height, 25.3 inches in width, and 56.0 inches in depth, the Cross Country 300 boasts the smallest footprint in its class. This compact size preserves valuable truck bed space and ensures the unit does not obstruct the driver's rear view. The enclosure is constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel and powder-coated steel, offering superior resistance to the harsh elements encountered in field environments. Maintenance is streamlined with sliding engine access doors and conveniently located battery jumper studs. An integrated engine block heater is standard, facilitating reliable cold starts in low-temperature climates.
