K1726-5 - Lincoln Ranger 305 G Kohler Engine Driven Welder Generator K1726-5

Industrial Multi-Process Powerhouse

The Lincoln Electric Ranger 305 G (K1726-5) is a premier engine-driven welder designed for rigorous industrial applications. Powered by a robust 23 HP Kohler gasoline engine, this machine is engineered to deliver exceptional reliability and performance in the field. It features an electric fuel pump to prevent vapor lock, ensuring consistent operation even at high altitudes. With a substantial 12-gallon fuel capacity, the Ranger 305 G supports extended operation periods, reducing downtime for refueling during critical tasks.

Superior Arc Technology

At the core of the Ranger 305 G is Lincoln Electric's patented Chopper Technology. This innovation provides easy arc starting, a smooth and consistent arc, low spatter levels, and excellent bead appearance. It is a true multi-process workstation, capable of excellent DC welding for general purpose Stick, downhill pipe, Touch Start TIG, MIG (CO2 and mixed gas), and flux-cored wire applications. It is notably the only compact gasoline welder in its class in North America rated at 29V for 300 amps of Stick or CV welding, making it a versatile asset for any fleet.

Generator Capability

Beyond welding, the Ranger 305 G serves as a powerful AC generator. It delivers 10,500 watts of peak power and 9,500 watts of continuous power. This capacity is sufficient to run lights, grinders, and power tools simultaneously. The unit features a skewed rotor design, which optimizes the AC waveform to be suitable for powering sensitive electronics, including Lincoln Electric inverter power sources. This dual-functionality makes it an indispensable tool for construction sites, maintenance trucks, and remote fabrication projects.
