The Vantage 322 delivers exceptional compact versatility with up to 400 amps (IEC rated at 300 amps) of welding current to tackle numerous welding and carbon arc gouging applications. Operators can select from five basic process modes including CC-Stick, Downhill Pipe, DC Touch Start TIG, CV-Wire, or Arc Gouging mode, which maximizes output for up to 5/16 in. (8.0 mm) carbon rods. This multi-functional machine also provides impressive generator output with up to 11 kW of continuous three-phase power to run industrial tools such as plasma cutters, pumps, or inverter welders, making it an all-in-one solution for diverse jobsite requirements.
Built with patented Chopper Technology, the Vantage 322 delivers premium arc performance with minimized spatter for stick or pipe welding as well as enhanced gouging performance that prevents the engine from stalling, resulting in smooth material removal. The unit is engineered for reliable operations with field-proven ruggedness and durability to meet the most challenging job site needs and harshest environments. Powered by a 22 hp, naturally aspirated Kubota diesel engine, the Vantage 322 runs smooth and quiet while meeting EPA Tier 4 Final compliance standards. The innovative service access features include a lockable and removable sliding access door to service the engine and internal components, a battery drawer on front of machine for quick access, and a top-mounted radiator cover that provides convenient maintenance access. With a large 20 US gal. (75.7 L) fuel tank compared to smaller 11 US gal. (41.6 L) tanks in competitive machines, operators can run longer between fill-ups, maximizing productivity and reducing downtime on demanding job sites.

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. The warranty on this unit is the same as on a new machine. Lincoln’s Industrial Limited Warranty (form IMWS1, Apr-2026) lists a 3-year warranty period for “All Lincoln welding machines, wirefeeders & plasma cutting machines”, and Lincoln states: “Lincoln will assume both the parts and labor expense of correcting defects during the warranty period.” As on a new machine, the engine is not covered by Lincoln’s warranty — Lincoln states: “All engines and engine accessories are warranted by the engine or engine accessory manufacturer and are not covered by this warranty.” This machine’s Kubota V1505 engine is warranted by Kubota: “USA - 2 Year/2000 Hours and 3rd Year Major Components.”, and that term “BEGINS ON DATE OF PURCHASE BY END USER.” Lincoln directs buyers to the engine maker — WWW.KUBOTAENGINE.COM.

Lincoln’s own included-items list for K2409-5 is: Machine Only (Lincoln K2409-5). This factory demo unit is supplied the same way. Not included: welding leads (electrode and work cable), electrode holder, work clamp, and accessory kits. No printed operator’s manual, WeldingMart demo-prep certification document or Lincoln warranty registration paperwork ships with the machine. Consumables (electrodes, gas cylinders) are not included. Leads, holders, clamps, cable connectors, undercarriages, spark arrestors, remote controls and wire feeders are sold separately — contact WeldingMart and we will quote the exact set you need.
