Arc Performance
The Outback 185 has a smooth DC welding output of up to 185 amps for welding steel, stainless steel or cast iron, as well as hardfacing projects due to its ability to operate up to 5/32" stick electrode. Its single, full-range and calibrated welding output dial makes it easy to set the best current for any maintenance, fabrication or repair job, while providing exceptional welding capabilities.

AC Generator Power
The Outback 185's high-capacity AC generator provides 5,700 watts of peak power and 5,200 watts of continuous power, allowing the user to operate several tools, such as lights, a pump or a grinder. The Outback 185's 240 volt and 120 volt AC outlets enable operators to plug in a compact wire feeder, such as Lincoln Electric's Power MIG® 140C or 180C. This ability facilitates high-productivity welding processes, including flux-cored or MIG applications on steel, stainless steel and aluminum.
