The Miller Bobcat 265 LP represents a significant leap forward in the design and capability of engine-driven welders. Engineered for reliability and performance, this machine is powered by a robust Kohler CH730 Liquid Propane (LP) engine. The use of LP gas makes this unit an excellent choice for maintenance, repair, and construction operations where gasoline emissions may be a concern or where propane is the preferred fuel source. With a focus on industrial durability, the Bobcat 265 LP is built to withstand extreme working conditions, featuring copper windings and heavy internal leads that are lugged, not soldered, for superior field reliability.
One of the standout features of this model is the Remote Start/Stop capability. This innovative system allows operators to turn the machine on and off directly from the weld location using a wireless fob. This not only saves time and reduces fatigue by eliminating repetitive trips to the machine but also significantly lowers fuel consumption and jobsite noise levels. When the arc is not struck, the machine can be instantly powered down, extending the engine's maintenance intervals and lifespan.
Despite its compact size—over 100 pounds lighter and 13% smaller than previous models—the Bobcat 265 LP does not compromise on power. It delivers a massive 11,000 watts of peak auxiliary power and 9,500 watts of continuous power. Crucially, the welding and auxiliary power circuits are kept separate, ensuring that using grinders or lights does not cause arc interference or power spikes. This guarantees a smooth, consistent arc for Stick, Flux-Cored, and DC TIG welding processes. For aluminum fabrication, the unit features a direct 10-pin connection for Spoolmate and Spoolmatic spool guns, eliminating the need for extra adapters.
