When your work takes you off the grid, the ESAB Ruffian ES 150G Engine Driven Welder is the partner you need. This all-in-one powerhouse combines a 150-amp DC Stick welder with a 4,500-watt AC generator, giving you the freedom to weld and run tools in the most remote locations. Whether you are repairing farm equipment in the field, working on a construction site, or need emergency backup power, the Ruffian delivers the performance you can trust.
Under the hood, the Ruffian is powered by a legendary 14 HP Kohler gas engine. Known for their easy starting and long life, Kohler engines are the industry standard for professional equipment. This engine drives an inverter-based welding power source that provides a buttery-smooth arc, making it easier than ever to lay down high-quality welds. With 150 Amps of DC power, you can burn up to 5/32-inch rods with ease, including 6010, 6011, and 7018 electrodes.
One of the biggest frustrations with portable welders is the drop in power when someone turns on a grinder. The Ruffian solves this with simultaneous weld and auxiliary power. You can run your grinders, saws, and work lights off the four 120V outlets or the single 240V outlet without affecting your welding arc. It's like having a dedicated generator and a dedicated welder in one compact package.
Don't let the heavy-duty specs fool you; the Ruffian is designed to move. It comes standard with a wheelbarrow-style undercarriage featuring large, rugged wheels that roll easily over gravel, dirt, and debris. The heavy-duty handles are removable for compact storage or truck mounting. Plus, with a 3-year warranty from ESAB on the welder and Kohler on the engine, you can invest with confidence knowing your equipment is backed by the best in the business.
