I am sorta a lincoln guy, and am in the market for an engine driven welder. i need ac/dc, good arc quality and at least 42 amps of 220v to run a hypertherm 1000. I know that the tb302 fulfills those requirements. i have used the tb, and i must say it truelly an awesome machine. i have looked at all the lincoln specs.. they dont say if they are 3ph generators(so they are probably not) does anyone know if lincoln makes anything comparable to the tb302. I dont see anything, and havent really run any of there engine driven welder/gens to know about the welding charactoristics. it may sound funny, but the blue machine would look out of place next to my red ones. i am leaning toward the tb, but would like to hear from lincoln owners/operators, and get there opinions. thanks, todd
