951861 - Miller Bobcat 260 LP Welder/Generator with Running Gear

Technical Overview of the Miller Bobcat 260 LP

The Miller Bobcat 260 LP (Liquid Propane) is a robust engine-driven welding generator designed for heavy-duty industrial and construction applications. Identified by SKU 951861, this package comes fully equipped with off-road running gear, a cylinder mounting bracket, and the necessary LP hose, facilitating immediate deployment in the field. At the heart of the system is a reliable Kohler 2-cylinder liquid propane engine, rated at 21 horsepower. The switch to LP fuel offers distinct technical advantages, including cleaner combustion byproducts and the elimination of carburetor gumming issues associated with ethanol-blended gasoline during storage.

Electrically, the Bobcat 260 LP is engineered for versatility and power. It provides a Constant Current (CC) AC/DC weld output suitable for a variety of processes. The machine is rated for 225 Amps at 25 Volts on AC with a 100% duty cycle, and 260 Amps at 25 Volts on DC with a 60% duty cycle. Supported welding processes include Stick (SMAW), MIG (GMAW), Flux-Cored (FCAW), DC TIG (GTAW), and non-critical AC TIG. For cutting operations, it supports Air Carbon Arc (CAC-A) gouging with carbons up to 3/16 inch and can power air plasma cutters via its auxiliary output.

The generator section is a standout feature, delivering 11,000 watts of peak power and 9,500 watts of continuous power. This high output is generated through a design utilizing copper windings and iron generator components, ensuring thermal stability and durability under load. The unit features a reversed airflow design to keep hot air away from the operator and reduce noise levels. Maintenance is streamlined with tool-free access panels and a single-side service layout. The machine weighs 501 lbs and measures 28 inches in height, 20 inches in width, and 40.5 inches in length.
