The Lincoln Outback 145 Engine driven welder K2707-2 delivers exceptional portability and versatility in a compact engine-driven welder/generator package, making it the ideal solution for professionals requiring reliable welding and auxiliary power in remote locations or job sites without access to conventional power sources. This lightweight yet rugged machine provides up to 145 amps of DC stick welding output, delivering ample power to handle electrodes up to 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) in diameter for a wide range of maintenance, repair, and general fabrication applications. The innovative Low-Lift grab bars positioned at both ends create additional leverage points that significantly reduce the effort required when loading and unloading the unit from truck beds or relocating it around the jobsite, while also providing extra protection against accidental damage during transportation and handling.
Built for durability in demanding field environments, the Outback 145 features a robust 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) diameter tube frame – the largest in its class – that provides superior protection for internal components against impacts and rough handling. The system's substantial 6.8 gallon (25.7 liter) fuel tank offers extended runtime between refueling stops, maximizing productivity during extended operations and reducing downtime. This large capacity, combined with the efficient 8.9 HP Kohler CH395 engine, ensures consistent performance throughout long work sessions in remote locations where refueling options may be limited or inconvenient.
Beyond its primary welding capabilities, the Outback 145 functions as a versatile portable generator, delivering 4,750 watts peak and 4,250 watts continuous AC power that can operate grinders, work lights, pumps, and other electrical equipment, or serve as an emergency power source when conventional utilities are unavailable. The system's versatility extends further through compatibility with Lincoln Electric wire feeders such as the POWER MIG 140C or POWER MIG 180C, enabling MIG and flux-cored welding processes for enhanced application flexibility. With its thoughtful combination of performance, durability, and user-friendly features in a lightweight package weighing just 234 pounds (106 kg), the Lincoln Outback 145 represents an exceptional value for service trucks, fence contractors, maintenance crews, farmers, ranchers, and other professionals requiring a portable, reliable source of both welding capability and auxiliary power in field environments.
