ROFLMAO!!!
Very heavy doesn't begin to describe that beast! It's as big as a freight car. Seriously, that welder of Greg's is an industrial-strength machine.
I have a 20% duty cycle SMAW box and the short duty cycle never is a problem because with SMAW you simply cannot continuously weld that much rod. I could see where it might be a possibility with a MIG unit but, once again, you have to take it easy with the heat or you'll warp the snot out of what you are sticking together...don't ask how I know this minor fact.
