Three Versatile Tools In One: An air compressor, a generator and a 170 amp welder
John Deere just released an completely innovative and versatile gasoline-powered machine that functions as three tools; air compressor, generator and arc welder – all in one unit. It’s called the Welderator [Not Terminator] and is a new release to their farm, ranch and workshop product line.
The John Deere Welderator features an industrial Subaru overhead cam/overhead valve, 404cc engine with electric start on a powder-coated ASME coded 30-gallon receiver tank mounted on a heavy-duty 3/16-inch base plate that reduces vibration. The unit weighs 585 lbs. empty and is 46 inches long by 22 inches wide and 47 inches high.
Generator:
The Welderator provides 5000 watts maximum output through two 120V, 20-amp receptacles. Two speeds allow you to idle down for use with the air compressor or increase the throttle to power the welder or for electrical power.
Compressor:
The compressor pump is a high-quality two-stage compressor with a splash-lubricated cast-iron crankcase and durable stainless steel braided discharge hose. It is capable of generating airflow at 16.3 CFM at 100 PSI and 15.7 CPM at 175 PSI.
Welder:
The Welderator can produce a 50-170-amp arc suitable for most on-farm welding needs. The duty cycle (10-min. run time) is 150 amps at 100 percent power.
