Any of you guys have a welding trailer setup?
I broke down and bought a Miller Bobcat 250 to use 'round the place (last few projects I mooched a friends Bobcat and fell in love with how well they work) and want to put together a small trailer dealio. That will make it easier to move around the property and I can pull it also with our Polaris Ranger working on fence, barns and projects. (right now I just move it around with the loader on the tractor) I will be adding my acetylene rig and a box to hold hood/gloves/tools/rods/grinders, etc.
I saw this picture and really like this setup, the rack up top would be useful to throw some steel if you needed to take some along or maybe a ladder.

My suggestion would be to make sure the welding machine is mounted high enough to be above the water when it floods. Hoping my new never used Miller water cooled tig setup will live after being half submerged along with my mig welder.
Nice looking rig. 250 amps is more than enough for stick.

Heres a few more of that trailer
The guy who had this trailer said he kept his bottles up front behind the big tool box. Still thinking on wheres the best place to put 'em.
Gibby is right on the head clearance, will keep that part in mind as well.

Youre right on the tubing thing with only one tack/weld on the side. Trying to visualize what you mean to remedy that, lemme get some coffee down and see if my brain can understand in a few hours.
If I can put a few lawn chairs & rod holders on, you may have just invented the worlds first dual sport welding/fishing rig.
Here ya go , and obviously put legs under the angle iron so you can get underneath. You'll be able to weld all the way around this way .
I admit upfront my welding work sucks, but it does hold up and Ive got two good l-head grinders !
