The Ranger 250 GXT features a totally enclosed case design that fully protects the engine with three service access doors for easy maintenance. It operates with impressively low noise levels - just 76.4 dBA sound level at 23 ft. (7 m) and 100.7 dB sound power (Lwa) at rated output, making it ideal for noise-sensitive work environments. Customers can choose from painted, camo wrapped, or stainless steel roof, case sides and engine doors to match their specific application requirements. The versatile AC/DC welding output accommodates a broad range of stick electrode types, while providing excellent AC TIG welding capabilities with the optional TIG Module and either a foot or hand Amptrol for aluminum and other alloy welding. The unit is also MIG and Flux-Cored capable with optional equipment, and includes a 6-pin connector and local/remote switch for convenient remote control operation.
Get all of the XTras needed for construction and maintenance work. That's XTra welding performance with 250 amps for AC or DC stick and DC wire welding and XTra power with up to 11,000 watts peak for lights, grinders or high amperage equipment. You also get XTra protection and quiet operation with the Lincoln enclosed case.
Powered by a robust 23 HP Kohler gasoline engine, this unit features a 2 cylinder, 4 cycle overhead valve air-cooled design with an electric fuel pump that effectively prevents vapor lock issues. The engine includes an oil drain extension for easy maintenance and a generous 12 gallon tank for extended run times. The electric fuel gauge conveniently located on the control panel makes it easy to check fuel levels during operation and refueling. With 11,000 watts peak single-phase AC generator power and 10,000 watts continuous power, the Ranger 250 GXT can efficiently run generators, plasma cutters, inverter welders, lights, grinders, and various power tools. Built for rugged reliability in demanding environments, both the welding and AC generator outputs are rated for performance at 104°F (40°C), ensuring dependable operation even in extreme conditions.

The Ranger 250 GXT on this listing is powered by a Kohler Command 23 HP CH730 OHV gasoline engine, 23 HP. Kohler engines in this line are gasoline or LP-Gas — there is no Kohler diesel in the Lincoln engine-drive range. Lincoln’s current engine-warranty document brands Kohler as Rehlko (formerly Kohler).

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 Kohler Command 23 HP CH730 OHV engine is warranted by Rehlko (formerly Kohler): “Three Years”, and that term “BEGINS ON DATE OF PURCHASE BY END USER.” Lincoln footnotes the Rehlko (formerly Kohler) three-year term “First owner only.” Lincoln directs buyers to the engine maker — WWW.ENGINES.REHLKO.COM / 1-800-544-2444 Rehlko Service Department.
