Benefits of Lease-to-Own Welders

A welding machine rental is great for short-term and long-term business needs. Welder leases and rentals let companies stay on top of the latest welding technology without draining their operating budget by paying upfront, in full for new machines. At the end of the lease period, you can either purchase the welding equipment outright or return it to WeldingMart. You can also buy the equipment anytime within the first year of your lease - see below for more details.

Welder rentals can also have tax benefits. In many cases, the payments you make when you lease or finance a welding machine for business or educational purposes are tax-deductible. This frees up even more resources to get the equipment, supplies and personnel that welding businesses need.

 

More Information

Welding machine financing is available 24/7 so you can apply whenever it's convenient for you. It will only take about four minutes of your time.

Once approved, you'll have the option to select the term that best fits your budget and, if approved for more than you request, our calculator makes it easy to see how your payments change for any additional items you add to your lease. eDocs are available immediately, allowing you to order your new gear within minutes.

Lincoln Bulldog 5500 Engine Driven Welder Kohler - K2708-2

 

It's great for hobbyists and anyone who needs portable AC stick welding and AC generator power! Dependability and long life aided by all-copper windings in rotor and stator with high quality insulation. Red and black powder paint finish offers increased durability with added protection from rust and corrosion. Also ultraviolet resistant to better retain color and gloss. Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 requirements and meets U.S. EPA EVAP standards for reduced emissions of gasoline vapor.

The Lincoln Bulldog 5500 represents an outstanding value in portable welding and power generation, offering exceptional reliability and performance in a lightweight, user-friendly package ideal for hobbyists, small contractors, and DIY enthusiasts. This versatile machine delivers up to 140 amps of AC stick welding output, providing sufficient power to handle electrodes up to 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) in diameter for a wide range of general fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. Weighing just 198 pounds (89.8 kg), the Bulldog 5500 combines impressive capability with remarkable portability, making it an excellent choice for users who need to transport their welding equipment between multiple locations or job sites.

Engineered for durability and longevity, the Bulldog 5500 features premium construction elements including all-copper windings in both the rotor and stator with high-quality insulation to ensure reliable performance and extended service life. The robust 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) diameter tube frame provides superior protection against damage in demanding environments, while the innovative Low-Lift grab bars create additional leverage points that significantly reduce the effort required when loading and unloading the unit from vehicles or repositioning it around the work area. The system's exterior is finished with a red and black powder paint that offers enhanced durability with superior protection against rust and corrosion, as well as ultraviolet resistance to maintain color and gloss despite exposure to outdoor conditions.

Beyond its primary welding capabilities, the Bulldog 5500 functions as a versatile portable generator, delivering 5,500 watts surge and 4,000 watts continuous AC power that can operate tools, lighting, and other electrical equipment, or serve as an emergency power source when conventional utilities are unavailable. Powered by a reliable 8.9 HP Kohler CH395 single-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine, the system provides consistent performance while meeting U.S. EPA EVAP standards for reduced emissions of gasoline vapor. Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 requirements, the Bulldog 5500 delivers the dependability and performance that hobbyists and occasional welders require, backed by Lincoln Electric's reputation for quality and a comprehensive three-year warranty on parts and labor. For users seeking an affordable, reliable solution for portable welding and power generation, the Lincoln Bulldog 5500 offers an ideal combination of capability, durability, and value.
