When you're in the cross-country pipeline welding business, your results are only as good as the arc quality, reliability, and portability of your equipment. The Cross Country 300 engine-driven welder gives you all three of these and more. The Cross Country 300 keeps the operation simple with intuitive constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), and TIG mode control. This enables the user to easily change over from stick to wire to TIG welding processes. But sometimes a worker in the field needs more than just a welder. The Cross Country 300 gives you plenty of single and three phase AC generator power for grinders, pumps and trailers. It all comes in a compact, lightweight package that will fit into any truck bed and give you plenty of visibility through the rear window.
The Cross Country 300 is engineered specifically for pipeline applications where arc quality is paramount. Out on the pipeline spread, your job depends on whether each and every weld passes inspection. The Cross Country 300 stick arc was tuned by pipeline welders for pipeline welders, resulting in excellent puddle performance for root, fill, and cap passes with both cellulosic and low hydrogen stick electrodes. This specialized arc tuning helps ensure consistent weld quality in challenging field conditions, reducing the likelihood of costly rework or failed inspections. The dual continuous controls designed specifically for pipeline welding allow operators to precisely tune the arc for the pipe, pass, position, and environmental conditions, providing the flexibility needed to achieve optimal results across a variety of welding scenarios.
Designed with the mobile pipeline welder in mind, the Cross Country 300 features the most compact footprint in its class, easily fitting on most trucks while maintaining excellent visibility through the rear window. The lower weight reduces strain on truck suspensions during cross-country travel to remote job sites. The powder-coated steel enclosure and polished stainless steel exhaust stack not only look professional but also stand up to years of harsh field conditions and travel. For enhanced durability and utility, the unit includes a heavy-duty stainless steel case and rugged wired or wireless remotes. Maintenance is simplified with sliding engine access doors on each side of the machine, allowing for easy service even while mounted on a truck. Conveniently located battery jumper studs and digital meters with dashboard gauges for monitoring key functions further enhance the user experience. With flexible process capabilities including DC stick, wire, and TIG welding, plus easy connection to Lincoln Electric wire feeders, the Cross Country 300 adapts to changing project requirements. The powerful generator produces up to 11kW continuous three-phase power for tools, equipment, and travel trailers. Standard equipment includes an engine block heater for reliable operation in cold weather environments, making the Cross Country 300 a truly versatile solution for pipeline professionals working in diverse and challenging conditions.

The Cross Country 300 (Kubota) Engine Drive Welder supports Stick (SMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding as standard processes. Many engine-driven models in this family also support MIG (GMAW) and flux-core (FCAW) welding when paired with an optional wire feeder. Check the spec sheet for the exact output range and recommended wire feeder compatibility.
Yes. Lincoln Electric engine-driven welders in this class include AC generator power — typically 120V and 240V auxiliary power outlets — making them ideal for jobsite use where power tools, lights, or other equipment need to run alongside welding operations. Refer to the spec sheet for exact generator wattage.
Lincoln engine drives in this class are available with Kohler, Kubota, or Perkins diesel/gasoline engines depending on the specific model variant. The engine brand and displacement is listed on the product label and in the owner's manual. Contact WeldingMart if you need to confirm the exact engine for a specific unit.
Duty cycle varies by amperage setting. At maximum rated output the duty cycle is typically 100% — engine drives are designed for continuous, all-day operation in demanding field environments. Refer to the spec sheet for the duty cycle curve at specific amperage levels.
Yes — this is a factory demo or low-hour unit directly from Lincoln Electric. Units may show light cosmetic marks from display use but are mechanically sound. Each unit includes any applicable remaining Lincoln Electric warranty. Contact WeldingMart for warranty status on the specific unit number.
Factory demo engine drives typically include the base machine and standard accessories as specified by Lincoln Electric. Consumables (electrodes, gas cylinders) are not included. See the product listing details or contact WeldingMart to confirm what is included with your specific unit.
